   Last stock that I’ll be doing for a while, I’ve got a heap of hunting (and living life outside the workshop) to be done! This one is for myself, a .358 Winchester. Metalwork by Allen Carr,...

    And here it is just before I dropped it off to Allen Carr for a satin bluing job. Will look great once done, hopefully the new owner thinks so! 207779

    I decided with this one to try a bit of cast and cant. All my previous stocks have been straight, so this is something new. 184015 I gave it 3/16 cast-off, and 1/8” cant or toe out. Works well...
