My Father's Remington 600

[DBK]

Hopefully these pictures aren't too big for the forums! All metal work was done with a brass hammer and chisel. The basket weave on the stock was all done with assorted wood chisels. The pistol butt as well as the inlayed diamond with the ram is black ebony and Ivory and he inlayed his own cheek piece. All work was done over a couple years. He worked in a foundry as a machinist (me too) and when he couldn't find a trigger guard he liked, he cast his own in aluminum! I'm QUITE PROUD of the work he did here as well as the level of skill I feel it took to do this! Thoughts?

Your Father should be very proud of the fine workmanship and how his project turned out. Very, very nice.

Holy Cripes! That’s so cool! Imagine the total man hours it took to do all that work…Absolutely amazing what some people can do with their hands

We can clearly see why it took a couple years to complete. Very well done.

Now that's some talent. Priceless craftsmanship.

It takes a lot of artistic talent, and patience, to creat something like your Dad’s Rifle.

A true craftsman and artist.
