The Junkyard Dawg

Any relation to the long story about the lathe/chambering?

Growing up, the local Catholic church hosted Golden Gloves amateur boxing events every Friday night. Our north side neighborhood was a mix of large blue collar working families. We were used to mixing it up to solve disputes so those events drew kids from the neighborhood like flies.

The best fight cards happened in the park across the street from the Golden Gloves event...without gloves, of course. Stuff got settled and your place in the pecking order on the North side of town got established. When it gets damp and cold, my right middle finger and left ring finger are achy reminders of a couple of those dust ups.

I have enjoyed this thread and want to share my project. I originally called it the "Rat Rod".
The barreled action and the stock were sourced from sellers on here. The stock is an old 40X KS that had been "customized". Some Bondo and primer got it back to shooting status. Zack at ODCR re-chambered it, and I bedded it.
I have since painted the stock, but in a way, I miss the Rat Rod look.
Thanks for letting me share.
