Thanks guys. My Sirocco needs some love too

I think the Pachmayr White Line will look nice. No? It's what ARH and Beeman used on their early custom stocks.

Gee, I sure do wish you would make 2 or 3 of those HW30 stocks - I would buy one form you Karl.
See you at the Cntrl PA show bro.
Randy, So far I have more in the stock than I paid for the rifle . Price a quality blank with nice figure. I wanted a stock but don't like the style of what people offer. A friend offered to teach me to inlet the stock after he duplicates them (and not for free!). A real pro I am so blessed to be privileged to learn from him. Griffin and Howe actions in his shop waiting for stocks. 🤩 Beautiful blanks. A Bastogne blank that looks gorgeous. And Randy, a Monarch10EE lathe. I used it! Donald Trump Jr's full custom stock too. Hmm. So here we are. I did make 2 HW30 stocks. I could make more but at considerable cost. For now I just don't have the time, though. I work every day and I work hard every day. You know I do. And I'm 65 years young. My gun time is limited. Susie works evenings so I make my dinner every night. I can't eat takeout. I also need a certain amount of fitness exercise. I'm doing a little weight lifting and just did 50 pushups straight as I write. Takes up a chunk of time there. AND, I want to go fishing! Our sons want to shoot pistol at the farm this weekend. They and their wives and friends keep me feeling young. 👍
I'm going to enjoy stockbuilding as a hobby for now. Work more on my skills. And some patterns. When I retire (next year🤞) perhaps I will build a few for sale. Right now I'm looking at a set of Ullman $$$ checker tools. I need to upgrade what I have. I wish there were 10 days in a week. Work 5 and a 5 day weekend!
It's late, and I have drywall repairs scheduled for tomorrow.
Bless you, friend
 
This one started as an R8 pattern but I made the forearm deeper. Fits my Hw50 too. Inletting has to be finished first. Then final shaping

I have some Pachmayr pads but have been looking at other brands. I’m moving away from white spacers. Will consider a black grip cap.
Your FWB124 stock is very nice but I found they don’t fit my ape paws well. Same for Corcoran. The curve at the bottom impinges on my pinky. Probably because my Frankenstein paws are so wide.

If thy pinky offends you, cut if off! :cool:
