In my opinion you are a master stock maker and I would be interested in paying you for a nice benchrest stock made to fit a savage action or a A111 sakoI'm hoping she's in my pile of walnut!

While looking for information about the .425 Westley Richards cartridge, I stumbled onto these:

Whomever owns it can probably afford to.Now there’s a gun I’d use to push brush out of my way and fall into a stream with!![]()
Whomever owns it can probably afford to.
Or it was broke over his backside for taking it squirl hunting! LolOh the horror!
True story:
A guy walks into a gun shop and wants to sell an “old shotgun” his father left him. The “gun guy” at the shop looks it over and calls my father, who owns said gun shop. My father gets in his car, drives 8 hours to the gun shop on Cape Cod so he can meet with the seller. The seller explains that the stock of the gun had been broken by him when he was a kid when he fell out of a tree while Squirrel hunting and his father had it repaired. My father pays $15000 for the shotgun. Later research affirms that the “old shotgun” is one of only three Parker Invincibles ever produced. Estimated value is 1 million dollars .
THE KID TOOK IT SQUIRREL HUNTING AND BROKE THE STOCK!!!![]()
Ya what happened t the Invincible??
It turned into a Greek tragedy. Dad got older and started to slip some, mentally. He loaned a bunch of people money that couldn’t/wouldn’t pay him back and things got tight. He decided to sell the gun. I contacted as many high rolling gun experts as I could but they all thought I was a scam artist. We finally got one of the big auction houses interested and they sent a rep. The rep said they had a big money auction happening in California, so I made a custom box for the gun and sent it out with a half million reserve on it. Unbeknownst to me, the auction house called my father a week before the auction and talked him into lowering the reserve to $150,000. The gun sold for that. He was robbed. There was nothing I could do. Dad was crushed. I tried to be positive. I kept telling him he bought a gun for $15k and sold it for ten times that. He was a Parker collector his whole life and he got to own the ultimate Parker shotgun. I think it helped some. I think the gun now sits in the NRA museum with the other two Invincibles.
I would never show off my best piece of “hand rubbed” wood to another man...
My two F-Class long range rifles. I wish I could shoot as good as they look.View attachment 1095713 View attachment 1095714
