Thank you for this whole thread, very fun to watch them progress.



There are two studs that hold the front end of the trigger group. The stem of the stud passes to the outside surface of the bottom tang and are welded in place.


Thank you. What a sexy looking action.

Mr. Bradshaw, this thread has been fun to watch, and I'm very impressed with your workmanship, sir! I love fine single shot rifles, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product! Thank you so much for posting this thread! One of these days, I may own one of your fine rifles.

Any chance of a few pictures of the making/fitting of the 1/4 rib?

Here is the stock blank for the 6.5X65R barreled action. Well selected by the customer. Should turn a stunner of a stock. I won't be stocking it. That will be done by Aaron Little. Very talented and will do a fantastic job.

Absolutely gorgeous. A beautifully executed rendition of a classic style of single shot rifle with modern engineering. Why did the buyer decide that he didn't want iron sights on the rifle?

Hello , my name is Steve Linson and that is my rifle Bailey built. It is beautiful, Bailey did an awesome job! Aaron Little is stocking it then it will go back to Bailey for case hardening and border engraving. I can’t wait to see it finished. I don’t think I would ever use open sights on this rifle that’s why I told Bailey to make it without them. No sights also makes rifle appear long and trim.

Very cool. Craftsmanship like that is getting to be a lost art.
