    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem Help

    No request for deposit just the price per piece plus shipping back. I’ve always sent a check with the work for all that. I’ve never had a problem but I’m not brave enough to do it now….sad!!

    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem Help

    I had contacted skip probably the day before or the morning I found this email. Basically asking if he was still at it and the plans I had for sending 4 bolts… He did just email me back a few days ago with a “yes” and the updated pricing for what I wanted. Anyway just passing that along.

    Hey there I split a recent acquisition apart to clean it and found what I believe to be a makers mark. By chance does anyone know him? Recognize the rifle??? M70 pre64 416 Hoffman

    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem Help

    4 hours of my time. I’d drive there! Personally I think you’ll spend over 8hrs of time and frustration trying snail mail correspondence. I’d go pick my bolt up!

    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem Help

    Well this is most unfortunate. I’ve used skip for many jeweled bolts and always super happy. In fact I emailed him a couple days ago to see if he was still in business. I hadn’t heard back which was actually not like him (based on previous experiences)…so I punched in his site to see if he was...

    Mate, not my skills! To be sure I was way too nervous to try! Luckily a good friend of mine has gotten in to checkering and has developed quite well IMO. I’m very grateful to him. He is a self professed old guy though and we often lament the fact that the love for such aesthetics seems to be...

    M70 custom shop .416 RM

    I was concerned the checkering ending so close to the ebony seam might look a bit off and with the large barrel profile I was concerned about the removal and new checkering slimming the stock and causing the proportions to be off. The forend being too slim for the heavy contour, kind of thing...

    Yeah I’m just over the long barrel thang…with modern powders I don’t see shorter barrels as such a hindrance. They pack so much nicer, swing nicer, should be stiffer, swing better…I certainly see the concern though. I specified 21-22.5 depending on where muzzle OD worked best with banded sight...

    M70 custom shop .416 RM

    I wanted to share some pics of a bit of a stock/rifle refurb. This is a Winchester custom shop stock I believe, for all the world the checkering and shape appeared to be from Winchester proper. I got the rifle off the forum several years ago and that part of its history wasn’t known. I know wood...
