Thank you John. Yes they are in the right place.
I had this little rifle built for me in 1985
Doug Barnes was the gun smith
Ken Davis was the stock maker
Both of them are from Western Australian
The barrel came from Sprinter Arms. South Australia
The wood is Tasmanian Blackwood from an aged piece that Ken had at the time
The butt plate came from an I Hollis shotgun that Ken skeletonized
This little rifle is one of my favorites and has killed hundreds of rabbits a few foxes and feral cats
Back then I would leave work at 5 drive 100ks south of Perth spotlight all night clean them at dawn and drive home this used to happen about every three months.
Those day I didn't know what was thinner me or my wallet so I used to eat a lot of game meat including our national emblem

Very nice Cadet there sbs470 - that Tassie Blackwood is a very good stock timber.
I certainly would love to get a piece one day for another project I would like to do - but on a full size Martini.
Nothing wrong with the humble rabbit or a bit of 'roo either!
