I have been playing with lee Speed styled sporting rifle lately and am in the latter stages of a 400 LS (405 Win case shortened to 2.410 and loaded with 320gn cast bullet)
I used a take-off Marlin barrel and the only work I have had done by someone else was to get it sleeved for and threaded tyo suit the Mk l Lee Enfield action (for the 1900 action I had)
I timed it to my action and finished the chambering. Have nearly got the stock done and have started to make grip caps from ebony and some buff horn I was given. The 400 has ebony grip cap and forend tip ( but I did use the buff horn for both bits on a 303 Lee Speed I just finished)
Have made a single stack infill for the magazine and it holds 5 down so I am just a bit pleased with how it is all going.
I suppose I should add that I don't have a lathe or mill so it is all done with hand tools and the stocks start from the blank
