That's what they are telling me. I've got two 1885 barreled actions on order and just sent my wood off to have it milled.

Couldnt see anywhere on web sight if this is the same action as to the original? Cast or machined? E-mail sent to see if one could just buy an action? What does anyone here know about them?

Steve, it looks like they are cast by Shiloh Sharps and they do the machining. Follow this thread http://www.assra.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1224536667

Jeff, I'm considering a similar project. Mind telling who you found to shape the stock?

Flat out - the best man for single shot or lever action stocks is George Peterson at Treebone.

www.treebonecarving.com

He has every imaginable pattern for the 1885 - reproduction and original. He also has hundreds of blansk to choose from.

His "semi inlet" stocks have better inlettign than most supposed fitted stocks.

Thanks Bill George was my first choice too.I'm calling him tomorrow. I'm thinking 7x57R

10at6,
I had an opportunity to handle the first prototype and fell in love with configuration as it was. Its the one displayed on the web site with the straight stock. Anyway, I sent the wood to Jon Frost at McGowen and he is sending it the the stock maker that did the work on the prototype. I don't actually know who it is I just wanted it duplicated. These guys are really great to work with.
