This would probably be a little easier than my solution. The main thing is that the strain is transfered to the parent wood.

I consider myself very lucky as well. But this also means that I have seen changes over a lifetime some for the better and some not. I guess that I love the place and the people as well as nature that God gifted us with there. I would love to chat with you about possibilities. In Africa...

This would probably be the best solution though it would put it 6" back on the stop. I haven't done it yet because the rifle is in Cameroon awaiting my arrival there the first of Dec. I have the tools there to do it with. One other possibility might be to drill all the way back into the...

First the barrel is free floating and the joint is at a 30 degree angle and when I glued the ebony to the other wood (the other wood is a pretty, wavy grained wood that I found in Africa, I only know the Gbaya name for it) I drilled several holes 1/2" in into both pieces filled the whole thing...

Also the LDEs are there, though hunting them means going into the mountains we have access to. Also there are as of yet no roads in that zone.

The self guided hunt is still available but there have been requests for a more organised service especially considering the language problem for English speakers. I will be there this season working to get the new part organised and working, along with the possibilities of more availability of...
