So, after thinking about things for a bit I decided to make a 336 SC straight grip crescent butt 30/30 & a 444 pistol grip in the same configuration minus the plate, cept I guess its a rifle because the barrel is 22".
Anyway theyre both ready to go to the smith for barrel installing, blueing & a few details. The 444 barrel used barrel bands before & I'm getting dovetails cut for an end cap & tube stud.
This is the start of the 444 stock,
This is the start of the 30/30, its a factory 1895CL stock.
I had to file away a small part of the reciever flare on the thirty thirty to fit the stock after I removed the checkering, but I'm getting it blued anyway & it sure made for a smooth transition.
Heres the guns waiting for a trip to he smith.
