Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. *Marvin Simkin* L.A. Times (1992)

That duplicator was designed and made by James Anderson. I've finished one stock off of it and it's simply amazing how accurate it is.

Terry Hopefully nothing bad, either. TC; you truly have some magnificent projects going on right now. Thank you for sharing them, but I can see right now they will cost me dearly later. And, yes, I did read that other PM a while back. I'm still trying to figure out how to respond......

Hey cousin VAnimrod Well, went back to Shanes for a little tweak but there was some miscommunication so it got shelved for a few weeks. It's back at James now and he's gone back to work on it. We've decided to get it a shot of alklyne root stain. Nothing major, just enought to tint the amber a little. James should have the first sealer coat on this week. He said he'll be sending more pictures soon. Terry

Cousin, you realize you're going to end up costing me (and likely a few others) a right smart amount of $$$$$, right? Can't wait to see the pics............

Threads like this almost make me happy I'm only an E-5.
I don't have to worry about trying to afford something so gorgeous, cause it's just way out in the ether beyond what's feasible. (grin)
Although my enlistment is ending soon, and them thar gubmint contractor jobs sure do pay well....

Oh, I don't know. Maybe 6-6 1/2lbs. Weight wasn't a concern but being so small it's going to be light. I'll weigh it when it comes home.

When the stock turns out like that I'm sure the $$$ spent on the wood seem well worthwhile. Veeerrry nice.

thats right purdy; i consider a stock like that a piece of art and should be used and enjoyed. i hope you hunt with it and enjoy it, not lock it away and be afraid to scratch it. i have several and hunt with them and they look better with age. enjoy

This will most likely be the most beautiful rifle I'll ever own. That had a lot to do with why I picked the caliber I did. I figure a man could call coyotes all year with this and even put a little meat in the freezer during deer season.
I think they look a little nicer with some use on them.
