Jaeger rifle in the white from a plank

[tecum-tha]

After thanking Mr. Brooks for his tutorial,here I present my first Jaeger rifle which is now in-the-white using web-only resources. This rifle is a 2 piece take-down to make it fit into my air-travel baggage without sacrificing 50 pounds of luggage for a 10 pound guncase and to avoid surcharges. If you take a close look you will see a diagonal cut in the bulbous forestock.
Enjoy!

I`ll post the finished piece in about a week...

Just before getting shooting it in and making pictures, my digital camera went out on me. Since I am not a real fan of making pictures all the time, I waited to get me a new one.
Finally, I have the pictures of that rifle which is stored at my friend in the US. It shoots 1" groups at 65 yards, if it shoots worse I usually goofed up :grin:
Sorry for the long wait...
