Any guesses what this used to be?

Looks like you have perfected a Remington 37!

One of the finest custom 22 LR I have ever seen. Really exceptional!

Indeed it is !

You are correct! I'm thinking it's the first and last one I work on. Just too much to modify.

I'll try another pic

Wow! Is the safety custom?

That’s awesome work!! Barrel turned down or new?

Hot damn

that_is_incredible_work!

When do these go on sale at deep discounts? Tiz the season.

That is pure art, a real pleasure to see. I bet holding it is Nirvana.

Can you show a pic of the whole stock? Just to further fuel my insecurity! GD

Stellar craftsmanship JRGunmaker!

Is the wood French Walnut?

quarter sawn Turkish Walnut

That is some nice wood JR. Well done sir!

JRGunmaker;
Good afternoon to you sir, I trust the day is behaving well enough for you out in South Dakota.

Thanks so much for sharing that work of art with us. Wow!!

When someone such as yourself puts up a piece as unique and might I say exquisitely executed as it is, I'm reluctant to comment on what I find the most striking for fear of placing another detail below it.

Nonetheless, I just have to say that the stepped barrel on a rimfire, the safety and the trigger guard/bottom metal is what to me makes it so different from others.

I'll stop now as I've run out of superlatives, but my goodness that ticks all the boxes and then some for me.

Thanks again and all the best.

I'll agree, that's beautiful rifle.
Were you looking to trade that rifle off?

I'm sure I must have something you may want. Just kidding, wishing you all the best with that rifle.

Absolutely gorgeous !
