Longest Description Ever ?

[DaveHH]

My friend Robert is a retired master carpenter of 35 years, he could and did make cuts like that with the 6" Skill Saw. Over his knee, you look and think "I couldn't do that with a table saw". I built a 12' by 10' covered redwood gazebo 30 years ago. I did the bottom Robert did the overhead framing. You could have a barn dance on that roof, all held up by 4 4X4 posts. Spans made with a 2X12 backed with a 2X10, not a hint of a sag after 30 years.

Your leg makes my whole body hurt. Had a close friend that had a similar injury from getting T-boned by a car on his HD. They were going to take it off until they put him in a walking cast and that did it, healed up nicely.

Charlie, having had enough knee-ops to consider my knees a training ground for orthopaedic surgeons, I really, really feel for you. As for the final successful repair, you are correct

Perfect example of repairs are structurally stronger when ran inside instead of attached to the side.

The repair in this rifle is not in fact very good. Not good at all. It should have been done like this:

However, that does not answer the question of why the stock was cut in the first place. I still submit that the probable reason was to fit the stock into some rigid container that would not stretch to accomodate the last bit of the nose.

Charlie, Gorilla Glue and it's good to go!

seriously, why? That cut makes no sense at all. It had to have made some sense to whomever cut it at the time......no, never mind, it makes no sense.

Took longer to do the description than it did to make the rifle I guess.
