I just got my stock back from Bill Soverns, he did a wonderful job of checkering it. I started this project last year after I picked up an M24/47 intermidate lenght action from ElCaballero. I did all the metal work and polished everything, jeweled the bolt and follower. It is chambered in 7X57 with a 26 inch Shilen barrel lop 13 1/2. The peep sight I got from Rusty Marlin, the front sight is a NECG Universal with a white bead and the safety is a Chapman safety I cut and finished. The stock is English walnut semi-inlet I bought from Northwood Gunstocks that I reshaped slimming down the forearm and reshaping the sides of the action. The floor plate has been hinged and the trigger guard bow narrowed I made the floor plate release as apparently no one makes them anymore, that was one of the hardest things I had to make. After building rifles for all the kids I am keeping this one for myself. It will get a scope after I get the peep sight zeroed in. Here are some photos     Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

This is a fine example of what the M-24/47 can become. You also made good use to the magazine by chambering the 'X57 length.

SDH is among the master artists of our times....I've seen his work posted here and like a few others it's beyond tp notch..... To get a compliment from a master should be truly appreciated. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

I apprecate the remarks, I do have to say that many on this forum helped by way of ideas and showing their methods of building. This forum is a wealth of information and I apprecate all who share their knowledge. Never rode a bull, but have shot some.
