Reworked rifle by the Strohs boys

[RickD]

I got this Hawken style rifle in a trade a while back and wasnt happy with the light colored finish or the 14" trigger pull.I dropped it off at the Strohs boys to have them cut her down to a 13 1/2" trigger pull and refinish her in a darker finish..I got lucky and the Older Wiser Stroh " Roys Dad Tom" work his magic on her..The rifle fits me like a glove and the pics dont do the finish on the rifle justice at all..

PS
Swampy,Roy let me fondle your new cherry gun stock today.

I'll tell him that everyone seems to like it :grin: thanks all for thier compliments... It does look a bit different, from what it did.

:hmm: wonder if he will tell me that he doesn't have anything to work on anymore? :haha:

 

[rabjr]

Well I know a piece of cherry he can whittle on. :haha:

 

[RickD]

Ha,that new puppy done chewed the heck out of that piece of cherry..Maybe you should be thinking pistol not new rifle..

 

[Mulebrain]

You have my approval! That is all you need :grin: Sweet!

 

[clint campbell]

Did he have to fit a new brass butt on it when he shortened it or did he somehow use the original? It shore came out nice. c

 

[Roy]

Just cut 1/2" off and re-fitted the buttplate. He had to remove a good bit of thickness off of the stock. Also wanted to remove more wood from the forestock, but it wouldn't allow it.
