Thanks CatamountRob for posting my MK 85 Photos. Also thanks for all the positive comments.
This is one of my gunstocks. I bought the blank about 35 years ago and used it to stock the Knight about 15 years ago. Since I didn't have a pattern, a band saw was used to cut out the basic profile and everything else was carved from the block. The most difficult job was drilling the ramrod channel. After that everything that didn't look like a gunstock was removed. Carol at Ahlman's did the checkering. Gunstocking has been a hobby for 50+ years so this was not a first effort. In fact, I wish I could have my first few back for fire wood.
Some real nice inlines in this thread. Several thinking out of the box projects. Interesting.
