Wilkes Rook Refurb.
14/08/12 01:54 PM

Thought I would post some pictures of my Wilkes .300 Rook rifle and get a plug in for Bertram and Co. at the same time...
I bought this Wilkes a few years ago.
It had a poor replacement stock but the action engraving and remaining colors as well as bore condition just begged for some attention.
I bought a blank on EBay (cheap!)which had a crack running length-wise on the underside. The seller said it was only an inch or so deep so I picked it up thinking it could be used on a straight gripped gun.
Well, it was selected for the Wilkes and the crack ran a lot deeper, just short of the grip so couldn't have worked better! Lucky...
Steve did some really nice work on this stock.

He who lives in the past is doomed to enjoy it.
