Time for this gun to head home. The original stock split, so I restocked it to factory original specifications. The rifle is a Westley Richards .416 Rigby which was made in 2008.           http://www.facebook.com/profil...p?id=100001646464847 A.M.

Woo hoo! Fantastic! If you still have it in house, could I trouble you to take a pic looking straight down over the forend? I’d like to see how it tapers from the action forward. | |||

hot damn! what a rifle!

Beautiful work. Curious why and where a 2008 Westley Richards stock would fail and crack. Was it user error, accident or failure caused by Westley Richards? Do you have photos you can share of the failed stock? | |||

The stock cracked in two at the wrist in shipping from the auction house. It was repairable, but peace of mind was more important to the owner. http://www.facebook.com/profil...p?id=100001646464847 A.M. Little Bespoke Gunmakers LLC 682-554-0044 Michael08TDK@yahoo.com | |||

I’m curious to know the maker of the action. Do you happen to know? Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

Just a curiosity question: how many hours do you end up putting into a stock like that, including checkering and finish? | |||

Thanks for your reply. If you ship enough guns you will eventually end up with one damaged by the freight company mongers either intentionally or unintentionally. Was thinking it would be pretty rare for a Westley Richards to have a stock failure from firing. Again nice work! | |||

I am going to go out on a limb and say you probably don’t charge enough on an hourly basis for your talent level | |||

Wow not enough superlatives for that restock job! 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.

Really nice job, and a lot of care and extra hours taken to preserve the original metal finish I bet. | |||

This is my .416 Rigby by Dennis Erhardt: the wood is nowhere near as spectacular, but at least the action is an oringinal Oberndorf Magnum Mauser.    | |||

Aaron, to say that stock is beautiful does not do it justice. Truly excellent work.  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Was any Cast put into the stock ??? Cast belongs in a Double.. what are your feelings about cast in a DG Bolt Gun | |||

Beautiful work. Where did the blank come from? | |||

Well and truly done, young man. Having now done a couple of projects with Aaron, I can honestly say that I cannot imagine the gun-making job that he COULDN'T pull off in spectacular fashion...and remain humble and honorable in the process. This is a good man that deserves to be kept phenomenally busy creating shooting "objets d'art" such as this!
