Bill that stock looks terrible. Send it to me and I'll hide it for you.  Going to look great. I love the lines. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

I really like the sleek and racy lines of that stock, and your cheekpieces always look just right. Beautiful work. But, it always bothers me when a G.33/40 ends up being anything other than a 7 x 57  | |||

I really like the choice of wood. | |||

Bill Where did you find that butt ugly piece of wood? Don't you know OSB is really REALLY ugly? Find a better background.  | |||

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes a pistol grip open like that....very nice lines. Steve | |||

James, That was my plan all along. Ugly background makes the wood look better.  OSB looks pretty good when your swimming in Chardonnay. hehehe......... | |||

Why? They started as 8x57's. A 7x57 is really more at home in a Mexican SR 98. The extra mag length of the G33/40 is wasted on an intermediate length cartridge like the 7x57. Very nice looking rifle Bill! | |||

why would anyone want a mousey looking thing like that - send it to me and I'll send you back a nice plastic one that can be painted any one of a dozen loud and obnoxious colors   | |||

Nice looking rifle. Russell has a fine one on the way with that rifle. Hopefully he can find some suitable exotic place to test it out.  Mike | |||

Guys, Bill has done a great job on this rifle and I'm excited about the progress so far! Always wanted a .270 Jack O'Connor himself would be proud to carry and this one defintely fits the bill! Pardon the pun! 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.

Looks great! Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Looks great but Bill, you have to add a little bit more fill flash so that your shadows aren't so dark. Or use your computer and play with the contrast button on your photo software. Beautiful work!! | |||

Looking good Bill. I bet it checkers well. Maybe your monitor is on a lighter setting then the rest of ours. Seems like I'm not the only one that thinks the pics are dark.  | |||

Like the Arched borderline at the grip to butt side | |||
|
| One of Us |
forgive my ignorance but is that border what is commonly refered to as a mullered border or is it called something else? | |||
|
| one of us |
22wrf, Bingo. | |||

I envy thoes who can checker and do a damn nice job of it such as you have. A friend of mine does checkering,and enjoys doing it. Dont you have to be about half crazy, or even phyco to doing this kind of work...I know - do it till you do it right, thats the part that makes me crazy and lord knows i have enough crazy as it is!  Nice work,I may just let you do some of mine sometime..._____________________ Steve Traxson | |||

99.9% done. This will be the last of the photos. Thanks for looking!      | |||
|
| one of us |
Man, rthat thing is happnin'! What lpi is the checkering? WIll sling swivel studs be added later, or will it stay as is? What finish are you using these days? Looks like it has th eperfect luster for a custom stock. | |||
|
| one of us |
24 LPI. Studs will be inlet later. The finish is Permalyn sealer to start. Then Daly's Seafin wet sanded in. Hand rubbed coats of Dalys Seafin for the top coat. A little CCL will be applied before delivery. | |||

Bill, you're just pretty damn good! Butch | |||
