Great work there! I always like seeing the bit and pieces that people get up to in their sheds. Fantastic project, and many more no doubt.

Completely off topic?????
But vaguely relevant:
I have two grey sheds........
Heres the latest MkIII stock. Each attempt gets better as I'm learning more and more. This one has no real flaws,just small hand fitted imperfections.

All the problems you just showed us we've all gone through fitting a stock. I sold a Ross at last Easter's Calgary show with a smashed stock, if I'd had one of yours it would have gone very high instead. They just aren't around. Now you're going to give us the opportunity to refurbish and rebuild a scarce pattern of rifle...stand by for work orders...
I'm going to work on getting a higher quality set of chisels, gouges and sharpening tools. I think that will help a bunch. I also found a nice little drill press angle vise that I think will help a pile with fitting the rivets in the hand guards.
They have come a long way already. I just need more practice. The one I just took pics up of I believe to be good enough to sell and keep most people happy. Now I just need to dial them in a bit.
Sure it'll sell. Remember, there's NOTHING out there right now for competition. Yes, just takes practice and sharp tools.
Very nice indeed. Well done.
You have skill and feeling for the wood, flying pig. Very nice indeed! :thup::thup::thup:
Outstanding work! Just think, if you decide to make more of the stocks, you could be directly responsible for several old Ross Rifles being restored to their former glory. :)
