On the bench...Henry's big one...

So Henry sent me this bench gun to fit and finish. This thing is HUGE! The action alone weighs in at a whopping 8 pounds! Barrel is 1.15" in diameter. As close as we can figure it's a .270 weatherby short magnum. It's a monster. Should be on the deck of a ship somewhere. Anyway here we go. First I had to fit the action to the semi inlet stock from Richard's " mightnot fit". I have done a couple of their stocks before and they have had problems like the action holes off center and the likes.

Here is the action the pics don't do it justice. I just got it back from the bluing tank as the barrel was almost white. The action is an Interarms mark X with this floor jack handle sized barrel fitted to it.






Inletting the wood for the action. A few hours with the a rasp and a dremel tool...surprisingly the inletting from Richard's was pretty accurate but tight so I had to open everything up a bit.
