Thompson contender with Fajen furniture and Nikon scope setup in 45-70 Government

 

[gemihur]

Love the beavertail forearm on your carbine!
My fun gun has stock from Fajen Reinhardt's original design,. Haus of Arms now produces them in a variety of laminate schemes.
It's called a 'push-pull' or big shot furniture. I also use it as a miniature rifle at time with a light recoiling round such as 22 Hornet.
I really got hooked on all the wildcats that the contender can handle.
Thanks,
Jimmy

I really enjoy woodworking for my firearms. Here's a 308 Bellm barrel configuration with some cherry furniture.

 

[gemihur]

Here's a design that haunted my dreams for years until I whittled it out and bolted it up. I had seen it a decade or so ago and never could forget it's low, English line, as a thumbhole design. Walnut material used. This barrel has been re-chambered in 222 Remington Magnum Improved by Bellm.

The optics allow the barrel to shoot better than I can. Groups have been unmeasurable as they appear as one hole.

Tx gun,
Definitely worthy of depiction in your avatar
Looks like a nice rendition of a Thompson sub-machine gun... except with a pistol grip.
You build some nice stuff.
How many rounds does that magazine hold?
WoW!!!

Fun is a state of mind

Love that pump 22!
Reminds me of the old fairgrounds shootin' gallery.
Here's my latest novelty.
No, it's a vented extension, threaded and pinned, thank you.

30 Herrett carbine

Shooter Scott,
I bought a 10" barrel chambered in 30 Herrett off Ebay because it was threaded already.
Picked up a 'fake' can and ventilated it, mounted it, pinned it to comply, and whittled a forearm outta spalted sycamore and the buttstock outta maple.
Total outlay = $ 170 and about 30 hours.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Ya'll are great here!
I'll try to stop by more often.
Seems pretty nice forum.

 

[gemihur]

I ain't bashful but I've got a lot of other places to be.
I'm working to get the Gunner gang higher up on my go-to list.
I dig your casual attitudes and your welcoming ways.
Maybe with the weather warming I'll get to shoot more and have more to discuss with you.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Fun and function

More contenders to 'contend' with and ever changing furniture.

... shooters note* when using 250 Savage in contender never use commercial ammunition carefully restrict hand-loads to under 39,000 psi

 

[gemihur]

North Country gal,
Your tastes are exquisite.
I got bit by the wildcat bug long ago and now build most of what I shoot, ammo-wise.
You must be a feisty one to hand the beastie Encore, I feel the contender is a handful.
Thanks for sharing,
Jimmy

 

[gemihur]

I just appreciate the Gothic lines of TC's break-actions.

Indeed you've never shown an ugly gun!

Thanks for sharing.

contender furniture

I shape a bunch of wood
but every now and then
I get something beautiful inside

 

[gemihur]

Still whittlin' wood for contender furniture
Just finished this grip for my 357 maximum

 

[gemihur]

Still making sawdust and have a never-ending thirst for new barrels.
The latest SSK 14" Hard Khrome barrel in 444 Marlin with some new lines

 

[gemihur]

Back again with an odd duck, this one had been turned on a lathe by someone before me and needed some special furniture to hide it's thinness ...

SSK 14" 6x223 Bbl used to look like:

 

[gemihur]

A target special! a full 5" wide!

 

[gemihur]

That was built for a fellow shooter in Florida. His plans are to use a Super 14 Bbl in 7-30 Waters.
My latest wood-working is for the Encore.

It's the glare!
Scope and weaver base are silver

A remedy for aesthetics... fully free-floated in shrouded forearm. 6x223 in 14" SSK Bbl

The previous owner, we'll call him Bubba, got handy with a lathe.
