Hey Guys! I'm looking to have a rifle built. I want to do a christensen carbon fiber barrel on a stainless #1 action. My local gunsmith doesn't know how to do this (doesn't know how to attach front screws on quarter rib) and Christensen doesn't work with #1's. Does anybody know a gunsmith that will do this job? Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

Matt

I am curious to know how you are planning to work the balance.

I'm guessing you are going to use a synthetic stock?

Let us know how it comes out.

Good Luck.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

It will probably turn out to be a fine rifle, Matt. The #1 is one of the rifles that is beautiful in its classic form. It's just a matter of taste.

Glue the rib on with epoxy. It will never move.

Not my taste either but to each his own.

Maybe if the No. 1 being sacfificed has an AH fore end he'll sell it to me.

Melding of classic and modern...

I have 11 #1's that are all shooters and some are lightly custom, love them all, just looking to do something different...

If I could find a barrel I'm half tempted to do it myself.

I saw one like you are considering in Ron Peterson's gun shop in Albuquerque, NM several years ago. I don't remember how the rib was attached.

You could glue it and use a little heat to melt the glue when you find out that you don't care for the barrel and remove it.

Matt,

Very Nice !!

I would also say it looks like there is metal to use for the back screw, and a good epoxy for the front should work.

The rifle shown in the top picture would be very sharp.

What caliber and use are you trying to fill? Interested minds want to know.
