After building a bunch of classic style rifles I was wanting to build something I could take out in the rain or snow without worry. I traded for a M1917 Enfield in 30-06 that started life built in the US, shipped to Britain, put into government storage, sold to BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) in...

After 18 months of Sundays I am done with this one. 1903 Springfield with National Match barrel, rear sight is Lyman 48, front sight is Lyman 17 with post/dot reticle, checkered steel buttplate, modified Talley barrel band, deep engraved trigger guard, Timney trigger, all rust blued. Shoots...

Took me a little over a year and switching between a few stocks before I was satisfied with it. This will be going to my boy when he gets older. Marbled English walnut, Neidner checkered steel buttplate, Timney trigger, German Mauser receiver, Shilen barrel, hand checkered, Gaboon ebony tip...

Built this rifle from a bare receiver for my son over the last year. German 98 receiver, Shilen barrel in .243 WCF. The rifle has two stocks, the blue one is more for him now till he gets older, then he can use the fancy stock. Both were pillar and glass bedded.

Due to college, 3 kids and and full time job its taken me nearly a year to get to this point. Everything is ready for final assembly except rust bluing the barreled action. Did everything myself save the case hardening work which was through Old South Restoration. 1909 action, Shilen 30-06...

This project will be outside of anything I've built before. Everything else has been Germanic, Bavarian, Pre-War American Classic style. But, he's a kid and a kids eye looks at things differently. Stock is by Boyds in Sky Blue with ribbon checkering, adj. cheekpiece (figured that could come...

After a handful of Mauser builds, 3 of which are still in progress, I started an old school 03 Springfield build. Plan is pre war style with a couple of my own touches. Will post updates as I get them done. Stock for project: Donor action, wont be using this stock, bolt...

It was a beautiful fall day today in east KY, so I pulled a few of my favorite firearms out into the sun to get glamor shots. All 3 of these had my hand in getting them the way they are today, either building from scratch or just restocking. First is my full stock Swedish Mauser: Next...

I've got two custom builds going at the moment and just got together most of the parts for a nice little rifle to build my boy. So far we have a VZ24 CZ BRNO action and barrel , butterknife handle, express rear sight, a nice little walnut stock. My goal is to build him a classic styled...

I always knew this rifle was a shooter but had some concerns about accuracy in a full length stock, so I glass bedded it just for insurance. After bore sighting I set up my "custom" rifle rest and sighted in at 90 yards (the length of my back yard). Ammo was factory Hornady Custom 140 grain in...

Due to me going back to college soon I wanted to get the last two project rifles done while I could still afford to do so, this is the first. This one, I took on a bigger challenge than the last, building it from scratch. I traded for an Argentine 1909 Mauser action and bottom metal (hinged...

Just got this one finished today, I had purchased it in shambles needing serious TLC. This is what some would consider a "guild" rifle, which is a misnomer, or a "Ciggarette Rifle", meaning post war rifle made by very talented craftsmen in Germany , usually lacking any makers mark and sharing...

Got started on a new project rifle today. This one is based on a super slick BRNO vz24 action, rebarreled to 30-06. The stock is a nice dark piece of black walnut, the shadowline cheekpiece has already been carved, fit a Silvers London pad with plugs today and fit my first ebony tip the last...

Almost 6 months to the day we are done! Just a recap, started as a Swedish carbine (16.5" barrel in 6.5x55) that I restocked in a full length Mannlicher style stock. I am an obsessive oddball gun parts hoarder and a lot of them went into this project. Not everyone will like the looks of this...

While "Project Mannlicher" is slowed while getting checkered I started gathering pieces for my next project, one to outdo all the others I've built. This is what we have so far (just a pile of pieces at the moment) Any ideas are welcome. 1909 Argentine large ring mauser action and old school...

I picked this stock up and I think it is an AyA stock, any help?

I found a old Bishop Mannlicher full length stock for my Swedish mauser, I have a ton of old bedding to chip out. I'm going to fit a walnut buttplate and TRY to fit a custom nosepiece from an 8 point I took a few years back. I say try because I don't know if this is something I'm capable of...

Picked up this old steel buttplate the other day, would like to find out what it came off of, looks German? Not sure what I'm going to put on yet, but thought it looked cool.

Haven't had much spare time this year so no cams out or corn, only one short scouting trip. Where I will be hunting , if I get time to go, 75 yards is max shot. Going old school rifle this year, 120 years old to be exact. Finally got to shoot the german guild rifle in 257 Roberts. I believe...
