    As beautiful as they are, they are safe from my chisel. I’m not sure I could find many blokes in this country that would happily for out that money for the raw materials to begin a stock. This next photo is of a blank that is going to go on a model 7, much more appropriate for a NZ hunting rifle. It will still end up a classy bit of kit, and at $285 NZD for the blank, a lot easier to justify taking out and getting wet and dirty.
