utah708 - Been there subs-wise except for engraving. Never did commision any engraving. Got weak in the wallet when I was told $1500 for minimal coverage of my Mauser bottom metal.
Sweet caliber as well.

And there's JeffG checking in. Thanks Jeff. Interesting grip checkering pattern.

I thought I recognized LeRoy's work as I was scrolling! Had him do some metalwork for me... someday I would love one of his stocks! I've sure spent time enough drooling

JRGunmaker - Nice James. A very special blank for sure. I must admit that Remington is not on my hot list. But, not much factory Rem left there except the bones so to speak. The fine metal work (DW?) puts it in it's own category. Sure looks familiar. Nice photography as usual. Thanks for the contribution. CB

It started as a 40XB repeater. I built a new magazine "receiver" to fit Kimber magazines and added a custom cap as it's exposed. Release in the guard bow is linked to the mag release. Lots of time figuring that one out. Works great though. Feeds like a hungry teenager.

Shouldn't look too familiar. confused It's the only 40x I've built. DW does some great work, just not this one. He prefers to do the wood & metal, as do I.

Ah, so you did do the work yourself. I guess the "not mine" in your post made me think otherwise. Please excuse my misinterpretation. A fine custom in the highest regard. That bottom metal addition/conversion puts it over the top. I've bought a few customs that I never thought I would buy just because they were too nice to pass on. This is one of those. Thanks.

Picked this one up in a pawn shop a few years ago, 1903 Springfield custom in 35 Whelen Improved, while the stock is dated styling it is a very accurate and comfortable rifle to shoot.

Elkhunternm,

That is my 220 swift. I built it on a 1909 Argentine action. Douglas S.S. #3 contour 1/8 twist. Blind magazine, Sunny hill trigger guard.
The wood is black walnut from Oregon, ebony tip & cap. Decelerator pad. Timney trigger. Wisner safety.
It currently has a Vortex viper 6.5-20 scope.
I am going to send it out for checkering sometime this year.

I own a handful with the two finest being a Pete Grisel actioned 280 Remington that Roger Green built and a 7x57 on a M96 that was given the 33/40 treatment. The latter built by Jim Wisner. As some here did, photos were lost with PB so I do need to drag them out for a reshoot. This is my 358 Win built on a pre-64 M70 action. It did great duty in Africa six years ago.

Ed,
Yeah. I got T-d off when PB did a 180 on us. I hastily dumped all my PB pictures.

My Grisel DSB is one of my favorites as well. Pete Grisel is a great guy too, He is always willing to share information about those DSB's.

Decent M70.
Lots of nice guns here. Everyday something new.

Decent

Vince Dougherty, is liquidating some of his Weatherby collection not far from here. Old school stuff from California and Germany. Looking at them really takes me back to the days when rifles were judged by the quality of the bluing and walnut. Gorgeous rifles. I should find some way to add one to the safe just to have.

Nice stuff posted here guys!

I didn't put the picture up but the butt is a Neidner steel one with a trap door and the stock is hollowed out to hold 3 extra shells. That rib is milled right from the barrel blank as well meaning it's integral to the barrel no added piece.

Color case hardening can add so much to a build if done well. Love the deep blue.

Happy to see the last several customs, lots of fine work here (again) .
Thanks to all, look forward to the next 'batch'.

Great looking rifle. The feather crotch figure in the butt is beautiful. Like the Conetrol's too.

Here is a pre 64 M70 .270 fwt. that a friend built years ago, he hunted sheep all over the place and than gave it to me 5 years ago, it's on the "never sell" list.

I have not done a perfect one yet. But that's why I keep trying.
If I could do perfect work I'd get bored and stop doing it.

I'd have to find something else to make me work at improving.

Yeah Woodhits. Fine keepers right down to the slightly proud wood about the bottom metal. Takes a special eye to pull that off. Love both of them. Lines are very crisp & uniform. Only the best can mirror image contour lines like that. Thanks.

You nailed it, James.

The first is an Echols Classic, built on a 1909 and completed in 1995. It is chambered in .270 Winchester and was the first rifle that he used his aluminum I-beam forend on. I bought it from the original owner about 18 months ago.

The second rifle is a .300 H&H, also built on a 1909, by Duane Wiebe. I commissioned this rifle myself and Duane finished it about 3 years ago.

Thanks gentleman! I recognized D'Arcy's work instantly but the second rifle had me a bit perplexed. If you ever have a lapse of better judgement and wish to sell either, please keep me in mind smile

Gunsmith Floyd Butler of Raceville, NY was a true artist in creating many custom firearms. The picture above does not show the curl well behind the grip Butler put on many of his stocks.

This is a great thread, and some wonderful rifles thanks to everyone for posting all of the eye candy. I've noticed about myself, for most of my life I preferred the highly figured black walnut over english walnut, but now in my 70's I've completely switched to more enjoy the color swirls and water marks in the english walnut.
