Remarkable work, well done! You do realise we'll expect a range report soon?

Super cool! I really like the flame like pattern of the wood you did.


Any plans to get an original .276 caliber barrel done too?

Thank you guys.

dman69, unfortunately i do not have plans to go to the range soon... it's complicated, to say the least.

That's the grain pattern i ended up and it was totally by accident.
In fact i didn't want any fancy wood grain and i spent a couple of hours at the wood store picking out wood blanks out of the pile, that had a straight linear grain.... or so i thought.
Once the blocks of wood were cut to size and latter once they were carved i saw some fancy ''waves'' but hoped the stain would make them disappeared.
The original portion of the P13 stock had ''normal'' grain so that's what i wanted for the splice too.
But it was so much work fabricating it that there was no way i was going to start over again.

And no, for the moment and near future i do not have plans to have a .276 caliber barrel done.
Recent events would not permit it, or anything of that magnitude.
