The engraving was done by Scrollutter..There's not much, but he burned up a lot of time on stippling the full length rib.

The barrels wee machined by Lothar Walther..had to build up the front ramps by 1/4" for a reasonable front blade.

I bed the stocks like a normal half stock, then make the remaining barrel as close to free floating as possible with out a gap.

The well seasoned blanks were furnished by Vardy.

Bottom metal,grip cap, buttplate and bolt handle are all Wiebe...End cap was fabricated (real pain), fastened securely to the wood, but expansion and contraction room is provided via the barrel hanger

Very Nice!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Does that 2019 signify that this is the 2,019th stock that you have made or that it was made in year 2019

Yes, the cap hanger, cap attachment, cap floating device... what ever you want to call it.

Cap retaining screw boss? Neat. Can't get any more secure than that. A fine pair.
