I know it is most likely against the rules but I wish there was a Kampfeld Section where you could go and see his work. The Kampfeld website is good but I bet there is a bunch of stuff that isn't on there that people would like to see. It could be inspiring to get ideas for there next custom. It's an addiction right?
I'll settle for a sticky at the top of the customs forum.
kallen, Why not simply start a topic asking members of the fire to show us their rifles with Kampfeld work or complete rifles. I would like to see the pics too. Karl does fine work. I like your idea too.
He's got a rifle of mine pretty much complete, just waiting for one more part to arrive to be done and sent. Just today I sent a bolt off to him to be fluted for my faux TI.
Great idea to do a Karl thread - good guy by the way. He has done 3 Ti style bolts for me, some Campfire knobs, a complete redo on my 7mm-08 and finally has started work on a all out Kampfeld built rifle, can't wait for that one:)
Who wants to post up first??

Nothing extra fancy on mine, no fluting, etc above the stock line, guess I'm kinda simple in those preferences. Mr. Feldkamp sure puts a nice rifle together and gets all the little details just right.
Here is one Karl did earlier this year. It started out just being a stock Remington CDL in 7mm-08 that I had rebarreled by Shilen. Karl did the following, Straight fluted the Shilen #3 Contour Select Match stainless barrel, 1-11 twist, bead blasted it, finish at 24". Kampfeld Recoil lug/Double pinned Skim bedded the B&C Alaskan Ti take off stock (painted by Charley Santoni) Graphite black Cerakote the action/bdl factory floor plate - Ti style bolt fluting Kampfeld Campfire bolt knob Kampfeld Action lightening & side bolt release Callahan bolt shroud/firing pin
Finish weight without scope is 6lb 10oz. With DD Leupold and a Mark 2 3x9 it weighs right at 7 1/2 lbs. I like it:)

Here's a picture Karl sent me of mine, a heavy .204 / Pacnor 11 twist barrel / Stiller Predator action / tan & black A5 stock / Jewell trigger / Kampfeld brake.
Just got this from Karl yesterday. It seemed like an eternity to get it back but worth the wait. He does awsome work and is never to busy to help you out.
