English Sporter

[Harleysboss]

Here’s a little project that I’ve been working on for a month or so. Sporter stock for one of my GM LRH 50 barrels. Collaboration with a gunsmith in Oklahoma. His stock and my parts. Walnut with a poured pewter nose. I should have finished pictures soon.

 

[MrTom]

Damn..... that's a beautiful stock.

 

[edmehlig]

Beautiful stock is an understatement!

 

[Harleysboss]

Thanks fellow BP nuts! I was not sure what this stock would reveal when I started. Here are a couple after getting it back from the smith.

 

[Bad Karma]

Oh baby!!! I need a stock like that one! Can you share his contact info? Private message so all these other jamokes don’t jump in line…

 

[Harleysboss]

Let me think on this for a bit, whats it worth to ya??

 

[Dieselden454]

Very nice job!

Hey, I'm not a jamoke. But I do appreciate fine walnut with 40 coats of hand rubbed oil

Not sure what a jamoke is, but I'm probably one.

Momma says a " Jamoke " is cityboy talk for " cool kids club " I wanna be one too

Well I slapped it together this morning. Looks kind of like a rifle?

 

[MrTom]

That's a looker. I love that piece of wood.

Thats really very nice looking. Great job!

 

[deermanok]

That's nice.

Nice rifle. Have you considered a more period-correct stain? The reddish hue that alkanet root stain imparts, along with a little more gloss, would get closer to the English style. The flat top checkering is another thought, but a lot more difficult to do!

 

[Harleysboss]

I did not consider any type of stain. I liked the way the natural color looked while sanding so I just allowed the finish to show the natural color.

 

[Hanshi]

It's a beautiful rifle. I like it and know you are happy with your fine work.

 

[Keone]

Very beautiful wood, great job you did.

 

[Dieselden454]

Beautiful! Nice job!
