Re: 2 Bore Jones Underlever SxS "The Double Deuce"

Certainly is coming together Colin....!!! Great balls of fire man,....Who, I repeat WHO, is going to be able to carry this thing?? I wouldn't want to carry 45 lbs of ANYTHING out to the end of my driveway, about 1500 feet, much less attempt to shoulder and fire it....AND it's going to end up a little muzzle heavy too!!! Sounds more like a punt gun!!

Anyway, I have followed this from the beginning and admit to a great interest in the project! I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind??

How did you arrive at your basic stock dimensions? I realize the customer had his input and the stock has to conform to the metal of the action etc....I am not talking about length of pull or cast, more so the amount of drop at heel, the buttplate angle, etc...I know something about stockmaking, but very little about double rifles and even less about shoulder cannons like this. Is the intent to cause the gun to rise dramatically while in recoil?? Of course with all that weight up front who knows what will happen?!?!

You know,..Just asking....
