Tad, Congratulations on your win Sat. You did a superb job of shooting as well as putting on two great shoots. I really enjoyed it all. It is allways a pleasure visiting with all the shooting buddeis there as well as the crew that does the leg work, the VFD, Eddie for scoring, the cooks, and...

Gary, Your new rifle is BEAUTIULL. Great job on all parts of it. I bet it will shoot great, when you put that much time into precision on all parts it just has to be good. I like the story of the stock, that make things all the better. Finish on the action, stock and all look great. I...

Bolt face Stonwall, here a few pics. of the bolt face in both the open and closed position. You can see the extractor on the side when closed and on the bottom in the open position. Sam

Gary, thanks for the comments. It was a very nice and precise blank to work with, the bore and race ways are perfect in the blank which makes it nice to hold very tight tollerances. I made a mandrell, snug fit, with about 4" out the end to index the action in a spider in my lathe and bored it...

Drop Port Yes, Eddie it is drop ported for a 30 br. so it will work with the 6 and 22 br as well. Sam

I had back surgery the end of June, and while recovering I though this action build would be good therapy and activity to pass the time. I thought you might enjoy the pics. Sam Duke

Thanks Jackie for sharing the photos and description of the work. Brings back lots of memorines of working on ships, barges, boats, etc. along the ship channel and in Galveston years ago. Reminded me of a night moonlighting at the old Bloodworth shipyard spending eight hours one night trying...

Congratulations Leeroy, Congratulations on a very fine project and a successfull outcome. Your work is superb and I have enjoyed all the photos and coments, keep up the good work and continue to update us from time to time. You inspire me to continue to work on mine. Sam Duke

Tad I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the shoot, visiting, and fun. Nice shoot and thanks for all the hard work that everyone put in to put it on. I am with Tim, I like the 400yds. Having shot 500 at Waco and practicing it a few times, I think the 400 is the ideal yardage for this kind...

Lew is the practice shoot still on for Sat. at T.V? Do you have anymore details for the shoot, as to how much ammo? I was wondering if you have any idea of how many will be there and, if it would be worth the 4.5 hour drive or will it just be a few rounds? Any info will help. Thanks Sam

"Stick" I haven't personally used him, but have seen quite a bit of his work and it is first class all the way. You won't go wrong with him. Sam Duke

Question Dennis Dennis, are you tapering or conturing the barrels? Sam

Reconturing a barrel I took a kreiger 1.25" straignt barrel that was winner on a bench gun at 30" long, when it wouldn't shoot quite as well anymore with around 1500 rounds through it, I cut off 3' of the chamber, milled a slot througn it to see the throat, then milled the bottom flat and give...

Barrel Indexing For some time now I have been indexing my barrels with a straight section of the muzzle in a verticle plane, usally looking at 6:00 o:clock. If I understand correctly the function of a tuner is to remove verticle, it seems to me that the muzzle should be in that plane. Seems...
