Rifle butt.

Unread post by FREDERIC » January 2nd, 2011, 2:57 pm

Hello :)
I know most of you born with his weapon in hand, except in my case I was not born in the right place.
Indeed, the weapons in France are more popular, less than a hunter shooter is legislation that makes them feel guilty amateur weapons.
Small manufacturer the devil laughs with me when he sees the fury has me.
A fantasy for some asshole cop who seeks to make the grade.
There is a me they put me behind bars for 24 hours.
It's been seven months they watching me, wiretapping, photo taken at the telephoto lens is over 100m.
They should just stop watching TV.
To searched my house and take my laptop they not find anything better than to accuse me of clandestine work.
They were disappointed, ten years of my arms trade in small arms manufacture to find anything, nothing.
There has what disgusts you the job right?
Today I ask myself, I should have stayed home workers qualify Beretta in Italy or offer my services to your great country.

AHH, I could do that blindfolded! :twisted: ( With a LOT of help from Photoshop )

Nice work.
I take it that the laws are rather strict for guns over there.

Excellant work! I used to build flintlock rifles, pistols, and fowlers, so I know good craftsmanship. You are certainly multi-talented! (I never officially quit, just haven't finished any for a few years. Have two pistols in the works now. Maybe someday,,,,,) :roll: :wink:

Frederic, come on over, you could make a nice living doing what you do here. Don't worry about all the gun laws RickF talks about in NJ, come down here to Virginia or any state south, we love our guns and for the time being they are not trying to take them away :!: :!:

Although you may have a problem getting in since you have a skill set and would be productive to our society! Seems anymore we only want the bums and free loaders :evil:

But hey its worth a try, and you could even rebuild a Mutt or two each year.........

VERY NICE!!! It looks like you also used wood for the butt plate? That is uncommon over here. Nice job! Hope you get to try her out soon.

Hello, 67mutt :)
The butt plate was necessary, therefore it conceals a recess for the balance of the weapon.
I know how the stock will be involved in shooting, to get an idea that looks like a stick "Skeet" flush with the barrel band.
As a tailor I identified four measures that will allow me to apply nineteen odd on the raw wood, the arch is complete until you have started it is irreversible.
If someone tells you otherwise could not believe a word.
