I am in need of a photo of a correctly shaped schnabel tip for a british pattern. I can not find any thing on the web showing the correct shape. (if there is one). ![]() Any help would be apprecated Never rode a bull, but have shot some. NRA life member NRA LEO firearms instructor (retired) NRA Golden Eagles member | ||

Not very good pics, but here are a few Shelhamer schnables. http://whiteoakprecision.com/johnSS/shelh2.jpg http://whiteoakprecision.com/SpngFld/000_0362.jpg Not sure if I'd call them a british pattern though. John | |||

I don't think the British were particularly fond of the schnabel, anymore than you are likely to see a hogback stock on a Rigby rifle. Too "Hunnish" for their tastes. I would go with one you like regardless of cultural origins. Just stay away from the eBay style I see all the time. They look more like "rifle tip elephantitus" to me. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Gasgunner That was what I was looking for, the stock I am working on is a Holland and Holland pattern that was apparently used on the SMLE conversions according to Henry at Great American Gunstock. The forestock I have now has a huge tip and I wanted to work it down to a respectable level. ![]() Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

Rolland- I just shaped one. Someone suggested I should draw a line down the center of the bottom of the stock, to align it. I used a huge curved tooth--or "Vixen"--file to round off the outer contour, because it cuts so smoothly, then rounded files to begin the concave parts. Sandpaper on radiused felt pads helped finish the shaping. flaco | |||

If you want one to look at, just get ahold of a current Model 70 classic featherweight. | |||

Here is a "semi schnabel" on a pattern I'm working on. The guy that's turning the stocks emailed me today saying they turned out nice and they are on the way back to me. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

I would like to do a Schnabel forend some day, but want a pattern to work from, if not was afraid it would come out looking more like a penis. Going to do one with side panels also. Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||

FLA3006, Don't I wish. No, it was just a guild gun I picked up that had seen better days. The stock alone however was worth every penny since it served as a very nice basis to make a pattern from. It has morphed into a vaersion with a cheekpiece and will likely be made into another version that will be a full length stock. It is simply amazing in that it instantly aligns the sights when you shoulder it. I'm still looking for my first legit mauser sporter. ![]() Aut vincere aut mori | |||
