Time for an update. I took the barrel up to the engraver and he is engraving the caliber on it. I have also started the stock work. Lots of wood to remove and a long ways to go. But the project is moving forward. Here are a couple pics. I suppose the most interesting is you can see the stock is cast off and the toe cast out. The pistol grip will be Price of Wales knob ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YEOAiMY.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/TWaMsKa.jpg)

Buttplate is an Al Biesen. These are no longer available.

I have a plate like that on my 250 Savage Steyr Mannlicher deer rifle that was stocked for me back in the mid 1970s. I don't remember where I picked it up.

Here are a couple more pics of stock work. Removing wood is a pain and I am not good with a draw knife or a hatchet as in Alvin's case. LOL In the first pic I milled the grip area thickness to size on both sides while maintaining the center line stock reference. In the next I establish a taper from the butt plate to the grip and milled the wood flat. At this stage the name of the game is remove the "overburden" as quickly as you can while feeling comfortable. Now comes lots of work with a cabinet rasp. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/zkYyqR3.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/kmpLZmb.jpg)

Yes I am working on it.
Shaping the stock. Its been very cold here and I don't like spending a lot of money on the "inflated cost" (thanks Biden) of natural gas to heat the shop. LOL
Also I bought myself an English made Jones type action double rifle in 450 3 1/4" BPE. I have been spending time getting ready to shoot it as soon as it warms up. I made a paper patch mold for it. Should be fun.
I'll post pictures once I am a little further along with the stock shaping work.

It has been about a month since my last post with project pics, so here are a couple showing where I am today. I am at what I like to call stage 1 finishing. The stock is pretty much shaped with about .030 to .040" of wood left to be removed on every surface. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/tsJqodk.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/HGk3uUM.jpg)
