The First section of 2018 Montana Stockmaking is in full swing with Irl from Helena, MT, Joe from Arlington, Texas and Eric from Columbus, Georgia in attendance. Irl is shaping a .411 wildcat Mauser from the blank, Joe is inletting a 7x57 Mauser into a custom machined stock and Eric is inletting and shaping a Martini Cadet from the blank. All three fellows drove to Livingston, Montana to attend the Seminar. Here are a few pictures of our accomplishments Mon. through Wed. this week for your enjoyment. Irl sawing corners of blank for rough shaping. Joe inletting a Mauser barrel channel Eric butt layout for Martini Walnut chips on the floor. ACGG Life Member, since 1985 | ||

Friday brought all of us trying to get as much as possible accomplished... Joe kept patiently scraping and removing small bits of wood from his Mauser inlet. /Joe%20Scraping%20inlet-.jpg[/IMG] [/url] Eric shaped his Martini, mostly rasp work.

Some talented fellas there! 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. | |||

What kind of rasps would you suggest one get, if I want to do 2-3 stocks on my own? | |||
