The stock was done by Dean Zollinger on a nice piece of wood from Roger Vardy. ![[Linked Image]](http://i60.tinypic.com/117cxlt.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i57.tinypic.com/v4tp1s.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i60.tinypic.com/b4hnuo.jpg) For the people that didn't follow the project. Karl Feldkamp did the retro G33/40 action and thumb cut. Kerry Stottlemyer did the scope bases, rings, and bolt handle. I can't cut metric threads and had Mike Bryant chamber a Shilen #1 contour in 220 Russian. It has James Anderson bottom metal. The trigger is a Timney. Dean Zollinger also did the rust blue. Haven't shot it yet. I am very happy with it and the great smiths that helped me.

"nice" isn't the word for that wood. That piece of wood is absolutely gorgeous, as is James Anderson's bottom metal.

What work did Karl have to do to the action to get it into the G33/40 configuration?

Look at the LH side of the receiver. He cut the metal away in the center of the receiver and the thumb cut. Karl is cutting an octagon barrel for my 45-70. He is a good guy that does great work.

Butch, that's flat gorgeous. What contour on the barrel? What ballistics you gonna get out of the Russian?
Thanks,

Jim Wisner did the same cut on my 7x57 Swede. Classy look. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/Deanand270001.jpg)
