New Ballard Wood

I decided to restock my #4 weight Ballard .22 for bench use.  I made a 2" flat bottom forend and found a shotgun butt stock which came from a member here.  The old butt stock has a large piece missing where it joins the tang and a 6' long crack on both sides that I just glued up after it opened more after my last session.    The new stock was for a pistol grip so I removed some wood to get it to fit my straight grip.  A few more coats of finish and it the rifle will be ready for the range.  It is going to have to beat the 6 shot .66" 100 yd group fro my low wall to earn a trip to Spokane.  Hew are before and after shots.  

Jack

If it shoots good groups I don't care what the Chinese lady thinks?  I just needs to beat those British rifles at Spokane.

Whoa, Joe, what did you do to her just before you took that picture? Or is there just something about you that pisses her off?

Jack, you can always use the stocks for the steak fry, if it doesn't shoot Wink And maybe throw that Chinese lady a piece of meat. She might cheer up  Smiley

Don’t want to waste a good steak Frank. I will just have to find a cute Chinese girl who likes old guys with ugly guns!

I sent her Jacks pictures.   

At coffee this morning, the guys said Jack did it just to bug the rest or us Ballard lovers.

I don't know what British rifles Jack is talking about but I'll be using a Ballard or Stevens.

Wes,

You know me and ugly rifles.  If they shoot then they are a thing on beauty!  I did just use some aluminum black on the butt stock spacer.  If I shoot it a Spokane, I will put paper bags over the stocks as I proceed to shoot back to back 250s.  The Canadians all seem to shoot BSAs.  Probably because they are loyal to the queen or king!

Jack, like a 1200.00 rifle rest, those ugly stocks will not make your Ballard group any better. 

At least a 1200.00 dollar rifle makes you look cool.

Queen, it's a nanny thing...

Dang, I was going to talk with Will about his rifle rests.  Maybe I should dip the butt stock in the hydro dip wrap stuff too. How would this pattern look?
