Here is hair ball, screw loose ideas gone to seed! I had this cherry\sapwood piece of wood left over from log I pulled out of fire and a walnut mannlicher stock plank I glued together out of 6 walnut plys about 16 years ago. I made a stupid offer in a pawn shop for this carcano and darn the guy said sold and my pride would not let me walk away with out it. So I had this 35 cal barrel and decided here goes a 35 remington bolt rifle and while I am doing it lets make a light starter gun for a kid as a single shot and a wee bit heavy stock at weak points so if they fall nothing of wood breaks. Ok, for a grown up we made this mannlicher stock with bizzare wood grains milled alittle out of reciever to take a savage 340 clip, and for the fun of it lets throw this weaver pivot mount on it. Sprayed it with Ben's epoxy paint(no tm) and keep the whole thing in the 6 pound range. This is it now, all I have to do is chamber it and we are in business. excuse the cluttered work bench but that way I know where everything is, and yes I placed a can of red cherry stain in the picture that costs about 5-6 dollars and gives walnut a nice red look for those of you trying to duplicate the older gun stock look.
