Not much of a ride to Blacksburg. If I lived in Blacksburg, I would be all over it. Why doesn't he post a picture of the rifle now assembled in the Hoffman stock?

A client/friend picked it up but it is coming to my shop. The stock break and attempted repair is worse than hoped for but for the price it was hard to pass up. I do look forward to its arrival. Obviously the stock will get duplicated for future reference.

I “hated” to pass, but as a lefty I also try to not fall for every decent deal on a cool right handed set up. I also have a similar Hoffman I still haven’t put right so a second wasn’t the best plan I think.

Too many project guns? Is that even possible?  Thanks for the heads up and good luck on your Hoffman project. Steve

So the Hoffman arrived, the stock break was or I should say the attempted repair, was worse than hoped for. Nice trap buttplate and engraved grip cap, all the metal is excellent, over all a pretty good deal. I'm not sure what will become of this one, I may buy it and re-stock it depending upon what my client decides.
