Working on a Bison rifle. It is a Remington Rolling Block. It is a #5 I believe. It is not the black powder model and has the small firing pin. It has a Shilen barrel that Karl Kampfeld made into an octagon barrel. I'm using Vaver adjustable aperture peep sights. I had to build both front and rear sight bases. I have a piece of Roger Vardy's nice Australian "English" walnut. Evan Koch will whittle the stock out. Pictures below are of the semifinished metal work. I think I will use Turnbull to finish the metal.





I really like the Vaver sights as you can screw about 6 different size inserts into both or either of the front and rear sights. A wide variety of hole sizes in them.

That is way cool. Would love to see it finished.

I sure hope you get the opportunity!

Me, too!

What, it won't be finished for fall elk?

Very cool... Looking forward to seeing it after Turnbull...

Have any pics of the stock wood Butch?

No pics and I haven't seen the wood. Evan Koch in Minnesota has it. I have always let Roger Vardy pick my wood. I get more for my money that way. A blank looks like a pine blank to me and I cannot see in my mind the final product. Go to this thread and you can see a stock that Evan is finishing for me. A step by step with photos.
