Hello all... been a while!
I've made some progress on my father's rifle.
Peep sight soldered on, blueing completed, and stock carved out on the duplicator.
The forestock is nearly finished, glass bedded and sanded smooth.
The buttstock is out of the duplicator, I've fitted the wrist into the socket and handed it on to my gunsmith to bore in the lathe (like this: https://youtu.be/nQJt_o6e-TQ )

For the forestock, I used my ATI plastic stock as a pattern to build a pattern by putting a stick of Macrocarpa 825x65x65 into the duplicator, and only carving it to the front of the checkering and carving the rest by hand.
I had to splice two pieces of wood together to get enough length. Mostly Walnut with Matai, a New Zealand native hardwood making up the forend tip.
The buttstock is a direct copy of the ATI one, all walnut.
