Re: An Alexander Henry Lee Metford Sporting Rifle?

There are influences here for sure. The aformentioned forestock is a given. The the island being fitted to the rear most on the barrel, while not exclusive to, is indeed a Fraser-esk style. The "waisting" of this guard for sure could be comtributed as Daniel Fraser was the reigning master at the economy of mass.

The bottom metal of a Fraser bolt rifle is a wonderful, artful study of what time well spend on the Bench means.



Is there plans for a buttstock in a style fitting a Hill rifle ???
