Hello people.
I am reaching out to you for two reasons.
The first is frustration and the second is advice.
Both are to do with the same subject. Woodwork for my project (rebuilt RB action)
I have been working on this now for 6 months.
An original RB shotgun action rebarreled with a full octagonal from Badger at a length of 34"
Chambered for 45-70.
Globe front sightinstalled and a long range Soule at the rear.
Barrel has been "browned" but the action left as was. Why? Because that action has been around for over 100 years and has earned every mark on it, I didnt want to take that history away. Internatlly it has been all cleaned and worked. Single trigger has a pull of 3 lbs.
6 months ago found the fore end and stock I liked. As I dont have a credit card I gave a friend the cash and he offered to order it on his card.
The stock was at Pecatonica Long Rifles and my friend has been trying to get them on the telephone ever since, with no joy.
Now our $ has dropped in value against the US$ and what gave my friend 6 months agao only cover 2/3 of the price of the woodwork and postage.
Grrrrrrrrrr
Thats the frustration out of the way.
Now for the advice.
Any suggestions as to where else I may be able to obtain wood work fior this action and barrel.
It is a straight grip and I would like a cheekpiece on the stock.
It is not a full length fore end.
Help in sourcing would be greatly appreciated.
