There is absolutely nothing wrong with that furniture... somewhat mesmerizing.
A real showpiece for sure.
Thanks for sharing,

I absolutely love laminated wood stocks. I recently received my boldest color scheme (matte finish Zombie Green and Grey laminate) to go on a Remington 700 that's currently undergoing a threading / muzzlebrake treatment at Shultz Precision Machine. Can't wait to get it the barreled action back and put it all together.
A little milder than the Zombie setup will be the other stock I ordered for my second Remington 700, which is also undergoing the same treatment at SPM. I just got word from Stockys Stocks that my custom ordered (I wanted a matte finish on this one too) "Plum" stock is on the way and should be here next week. Purple and Grey. I can't wait to see it. Even more anxious to put them all together.
My son put his hand through the thumbhole stock in my Encore, and now he wants a left handed version for his 10/22. I'm going to order the "Sky" color for him (Blue / Grey laminate). He also wants one for his own encore, but since that one wears a bull barrel, the forend is going to have to be opened up, so that project is going to be put off until a little later.
All the best,
Glenn
If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

Time, that's the crux. The sanding is quite taxing.
I made that forearm from a stick of firewood.
I saw a stock sometime back that piqued my interest so I'm making my own version.
Thanks,
Jimmy
