Winter project turned spring project

[huntinfool18]

after procrastinating for a few months I finally decided to get this project under way. I bought this piece of English walnut as a blank and sent it out to get duplicated from a McMillan game stalker flattop. I was able to inlet the action and bottom metal this morning in a couple hours. All done by hand with a manual mill.
This is it for now until I get a barrel installed. Hopefully get that done next weekend.

WOW Nice Job.
Share details, what are you building.

I'm still undecided on what to build. Leaning towards a 6creed with a proof sendero contour.

Got some small gaps on the bottom metal but I'll use some colored bedding, should look ok after.

This is going to finish up beautiful. Nice piece of lumber! Can't wait to see this after you've got some oil on it.
