Vall, if you mean the use of stippling instead of checkering, this is the first one I have seen that is all stippling but nearly all I have seen have some stippling incorporated into the checkering patterns and he sure seemed to like to use the little circles that look like they may have been done with a nail set. Michael said he liked to do lots of weird things to his stocks. Michael also said that Howe very seldom marked his rifles with his name.

Are there any pictures out on the web or from forum members showing similar treatments of the grip panels with stippling and the circles?

Can't help but wonder what the stippling looked like when it was new? It's pretty flat and worn down now, and probably it was nicer looking when new?

The stippling was not a popular treatment, and it looks rather amateurish IMO. Since Howe's real fame was metal working it may be another indication that the stock may be by JVH.

I have to agree with you, if I was having a custom rifle made, I would not want stippling.

I had some time to play around today. I took the scope off and put a rear sight on. The rifle looks a lot nicer with the scope off, the stock is really set up for iron sights. I took more pictures, and played around some with the pictures I took. I think these are much nicer than the ones that I originally posted.





The tang has been modified



Here is what the inletting looks like



and some pictures of the horn grip cap and butt plate





there is a small post dovetailed into the barrel, the post is threaded for the sling swivel

Maybe I missed it, but what caliber? .30-06?

Will you shoot it?

I am told it is 30-06, but it isn't marked. I do intend
to shoot it. But, there is a long list of rifles ahead of it.
I need to get to the range more.

LRF, When I finally get all the guns out of the bags I will take some photos for Fred to post. All I got done Mon was to unload the car and get stuff in the house. Today I got all but the guns put away.

I sent Fred some photos but got an automatic message back that he is gone until the 4th.

If you wish, I'll stand in for Dan and post them for you. You can email them to the address in my profile, and I'll post in the morning.
