.577 NfB double
      15/05/15 12:26 AM



Gentlemen,
I thought some of you might be interested to see my latest project gun. It is a .577 NfB rifle built on a 3 1/2 inch magnum 10 gauge frame. It has 27 inch barrels on it and the stock was done by me out of a beautiful piece of Franquette walnut.

The gun weighs 12 pounds 8 ounces and pushes a 650 grain bullet out at 1800 FPS. Recoil is brisk but not uncomfortable, it has a Pachmayr Decelerator butt pad on it. I also extended the rail on the trigger guard down to meet the steel gripcap. Sling swivel studs were fitted fore and aft.

The stock was custom built for the owner, it has a 15" length of pull, drop at the comb is 1 3/8", drop at the heal is 1 5/8", there is 1/4" castoff and the toe is pitched out another 1/4". The checkering is borderless 24 lines per inch, and I was well pleased with the way it turned out. I spent two weeks of my spare time doing the checkering on the two pieces of the stock. Altogether, I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Bob
