Is anyone offering a Sedgley-style stock these days? I found a Sedgley with excellent bore hiding in beater monte carlo wood with no less than Weaver mounts on it. It is crying to be put back to original Philadelphia configuration with a Lyman 48.

You just missed what appeared to be a nice looking original Sedgley stock that sold on Ebay for $140 last week. Wished I had bid on it now.

Otherwise don't know of anyone in less you want to order custom.

IIRC (?), at one point in time GAG offered semi inlets in a Sedgley pattern. They're not around any more, but Henry sold all his machines, patterns, and tooling to Walnut Grove Gunstocks up in Idaho. might check with them.

Henry dropped by my shop last month. He lives in Idaho now. Working as a consultant/semi-retired gentleman.

I had the pleasure of meeting Henry up at WGG last week. He is a very interesting gentleman, and it was a true pleasure to visit with.

I think Henry had patterns for about every bolt rifle ever sold.

Thanks guys. I have an e-mail in to Walnut Grove Gunstocks next door in Weiser, Idaho.
Now, about that crazy banded ramp front sight that Sedgley used ... Close, but no ceegar:

By the way, all I can turn up in my library on Sedgleys is the chapter in Michael Petrov's book -- and other comments Michael made over the years on various forums.
Just as he described, my rifle's serial number, 1243, is stamped in the groove on the upper tang (the original having been scrubbed from the receiver ring, which was then finely matted to reduce glare) and a three-digit code, 156, is marked on the barrel, receiver and magazine/trigger guard. The rifle has the one-line address, and the circle S proof mark on the upper barrel shank near the receiver ring. The barrel has been cut from the classic 26 to the mundane 24 inches, leaving the letter code A -- and possibly S -- and a dimple at the muzzle that I believe was an anchor point for the rear edge of the banded ramp front sight.
It is at times like these when I realize just what a treasure we lost when Michael died last winter. Does anyone know if another passionate researcher has taken up Michael's reins?
