Re: stainless steel custom stocked rifles

Sorry mate - forgot about the trigger guard/floor plate. It is nothing exotic I'm afraid - just a factory one although the mag box has been widened a smidgen to enable 4 down.

Stock was a really nice piece of Cal English which I sent to Mel Smart for laminating. The 2 outside laminations are quite thick, the next 2 slimmer and the middle one only about 5mm thick. I think he turns the inner 2 around so that the grain is layed in opposite directions for strength. He also 90% inletted and shaped it and one of our best stockmakers here in OZ did a bit of reshaping and then finished it. I can post some more photos if you want.

The barrel changing is by way of a vise, action wrench and collets for each barrel. It seems to work well but you wouldn't want to be changing barrels every 5 minutes

Cheers
