Hi Guys, I am still doing some bits on the rifle, mainly the stock wood fitting form the black walnut I got. Have roughly cut out the stock and forearm bits and fitting the forearm first, I cut it to fit the barrel on the lathe, same way I did the Hawken, and with lots of planning, sanding, oiling I have a nice forearm for the rifle. Still needs a few more coats of oil ,but I think its a keeper. This is the short forearm schnabble for the octagonal barrel, 10 1/2", I think it looks better on the short barrel, and it`s not to the plans, just my free hands having a go. Homebrew.357.
, Rough cut out.
, Pick the best bit for the stock.
, The forearm is fitting on nicely .
, And you can see with my back yard way I have a nice bit of wood sitting on the rifle.
