Best wishes to your daughter. Please pass on my thanks to her for joining on, and stepping up. She is in for quite a ride, my thoughts of support, and safe wishes for her throughout her career.

Thank you very much. I sure will pass it on to her.

Just waiting on reamer. Can’t wait to shoot it. Many, many thanks everyone.View attachment 1259167

Is that wood raw?
If you can handle a shiny finish I'll hook you up.
I don't do oil finish BTW.

 

[pintopete]

Bc’z, yes the wood is raw. It’s Claro walnut from Richard‘s. My only experiences with finishing stocks is with Tru-Oil on one, and automotive finish on a couple fiberglass stocks. I did the Tru-Oil, the others by a local body shop. I very much appreciate your offering. I’m gonna need to invest many, many hours in this stock to get it ready for finishIng. I can keep you in mind and posted for sure. Thank you very much!

Here's a Richard's micro fit with a few coats of dye to enhance the grain.
I've yet to work with Terry, but there's always a 1st time.
Have your action bedded prior to finishing.

Very appreciative of you Sir. 1985-2019 LE career and proud to serve. Today, I'm not so sure. It's become very Thankless. I was treated fair and respected during my career. I'd be spit on and disrespected today. I'm so happy to have done it but also very happy to be retired from what's become a disgrace for the LE community. Thank you for your service to the LE community.

 

[DirtySteve]

Thank you for doing this Terry..! You are a generous man...

I Love the 223 you did for me....

284Winner, thank you for your kind, and supportive words. I very much understand your feelings. It’s not easy in good times. Much harder now. I’m fortunate in a couple ways, great community, and we’ve earned their respect and trust. Some sheer luck, but also by virtue of unwavering devotion to the community. I won’t fib, last year and a half has been extremely hard. I’m sticking with my plan for retirement, and if all goes well, I’ll make it. Thank you for your long career and devotion to the jurisdiction in which you served! DirtySteve too.
A huge thanks to Terry, Jeff, Bc’z, and many, many others here. This forum is comprised of an exceptional group of people. I’m just a hack, and yet treated with unimaginable generosity. Thanks very much!

Best regards, Peter.

You've certainly seen change in the past 2 years. Retiring at the first of 2019, I fortunately missed it all. Certainly a good time to hang up the duty belt and vest. Although I'm not so sure the vest isn't a good way to go in many areas of the country. Good luck and thank you for your dedicated service. I would however recommend retirement at your earliest manageable date. I'm very glad I retired and am enjoying all of it. Be safe out there. John

Being a Retired LEO I say this is very commendable you Terry. Thanks for supporting my brothers out there and believe me it means even more than you know , to the officers out there, seeing this kind of support

Nice job.

 

[McStocks]

When I see a law enforcement officer come in after me in a fast food joint, I like to give the cashier my card, tell her to pay for theirs and I'll get my card later. Fun to watch them look around and try to figure out who!

I have 2 grandsons with Criminal Justice degrees, a nephew that is a LEO and a niece that is with the criminal enforcement division of the IRS.
I'm very proud of them. Thanks for what you are doing Terry.

Plan to buy a trigger soon from LDS, who I just found out is a fellow LEO retiree. I did my 20 in Upstate NY. Done in 2013 and it feels like yesterday. Gosh I wish the 20 had gone as fst as the last 8!!!

Cool move Terry.
