Lonesome Dove
A man of vision but with no mission.
Stock arrived today and I was quite a bit Pissed to say the least after a call and email I am to recieve a 50% rebate.
I specifically ask for these things to be done ONLY.
1= inlet for barreled action for Vanguard short action and add a forearm tip blank/Chunk of wood.
2= cut rough shape approximately 20-30% of your Monte Carlo stock leaving extra wood.
3= install recoil pad again 20-30% to match rough cut.
4= add sling swivels to package but not installed.
NOTE: Customer will shape stock to his pattern.
Well I got a full cut stock, recoil pad and installed swivels.
It's rough probably comparable to a 36 grit grinder.
So I am reshaping the best I can with what I got.
Reshape grip to a more relaxed sweep 3/3".
Narrow grip all around and remove the swell and sharpness at the base 1/4 and 1/2".
Reshape an move back the toe of the raised cheek piece about 3/4".
I'll play with this a while.
I don't like the color of the forend tip so staining to a deeper color before finishing.
The inleting is great but the fitment of the bottom metal needs a little fill.
Barrel channel will be enlarges for a free load barrel and I'll pillar bed or glass bed the action.
