He built this 22 Hornet by cutting down a pre 64 model 70 22 Hornet action to 22 Hornet length and other metal work that is superb… http://www.metalandwood.com/Metal---Wood.html I really like it!

Great looking job. Hal Here are pictures of his work on an original Super Grade 22 Hornet bolt. You can also see how well he shortened the original bolt to the shorter bolt for the customized 22 Hornet...

Conduct is the best proof of character.

Any more pictures or info on the rifle. Hal Hal, thanks, here you go. The rifle is built on a commercial FN action, with Blackburn bottom metal, Wisner safety and Lothar Walther barrel chambered in 6.5x55. The blank came from Gunbroker, intended for the seller's project that apparently never got off the ground. The wood was pictured dry, so it wasn't entirely clear what I was buying. Stock work is my own - something that's become an enjoyable hobby over the past 10 years or so.
