Default A fun carbine project

Here are several photos of my carbine crafted/assembled by the following “gang”.
Charles Danner : rust blue, straw, and fire blue.
Jim Solomon: from a single piece of wood, Macon Gun provided
a semi-inlet blank for the stock, Don fabricated the forearm, I
made the grips, did the design and checkering, along with
installing the attaching iron.
Gerald Tomek: cut the barrel and threads, index to BDC at the
correct torque of approx. 50 lbs.. and cut the taper.
Don Voigt: coordinated the project. He did the extractor cut,
finished the chamber and head space, front and Navy rear sight,
and fit the forearm to the bbl.
It was a fun project, and I felt privileged seeing the nice results of three craftsmen—Charles Danner, Gerald Tomek, and Don Voigt.
