Well done, and a very interesting project. Looking forward to seeing more. Col. Townsend Whelen said "Only accurate rifles are interesting." I think he'd be very interested in the regulation of this one.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

nicely done...not many gunsmiths working today can do that quality of double rifle work...a copy of ellis brown's book may be a value to you in your future double rifle projects...

as for reducing the weight, next time make the barrels 20"...and 35 remington would be a good choice...with perhaps one of the 11 oz. leopold light weight scopes...

Very nice find! I had a 30-30 win double rifle made on a browning BSS 20 gauge action with 18 inch barrels a few years ago. I made this to carry while chasing bear dogs in the New Mexico mountains. It was light and easy to carry in rough country. When I sold the dogs to my hunting partner I also sold the little rifle to him as well. Wish I still had that handy little double, but he refuses to sell it back to me! I have another 20ga S/S now and am thinking of building another 30-30 double.

I haven't been on this website for some time and had not remember that I was once here till I tried to register and found that I was already registered. I'm 80 yrs old and am getting forgetful.

Here is an update.
I got the machining on the rib done for the sights and scope mounts.

I decided to go with a simple dovetail setup for talley rings with the express sight acting as the recoil lug for the front scope mount. The rings drop down and slide forward and tighten with a quarter turn of the QD levers. The rear ring mounts right at the back of the rib and the existing rib extension on the barrels was thinned down enough to allow for the rear rings to drop down over it.
I did some ball mill cuts on the section of the rib in front of the express sight in order to style it some and match it to what I did on the front ramp.
I machined the front ramp with a 5mm dovetail for accepting a european style (push in from the front) sight.

Do you need a new best friend?

Tongue in cheek, of course. Beautiful work. I would love to have someone near with the tools and the talent.

Please continue with progress reports. I am smitten with the project.

The most important is the talent, I have the tools but there is no way I can do work like that.
