Back in the 70's I built a custom rifle. Mauser MK10, trued & lapped. Douglas premium '06 ack imp barrel. Fajen fancy claro walnut stock. Sanded & finished the stock myself, taking several months to do it. In elk season of '11, I slipped on a snow covered, downed log while walking down hill. Fell on the stock and snapped it in half at the receiver and bent the barrel enough that it never shot right even after a new stock.
