Hello all,
I recently had an old enfield 303 British that I had picked up at an estate sale for a couple hundred bucks. Someone had tried to turn it into a sporter along the way and it actually shot fairly well. After a model 70 375 reworked by Roger “RJ” Renner I got a wild hair and decided to send him my 303. After scouring the web, we found some pictures of some old Lee speed rifles by some of the well known outfits like Holland and Holland as well Rigby. Using these for an inspiration he created a pattern for the stock and then sourced a blank. His craftsmanship on the stock is second to none and it turned out better than I had expected. I was wanting it to have a true English look and he checked all of the boxes. For the metal, I loved the patina that a nearly 100 rifle had so he dismantled it and cleaned nearly a century worth of oil, dirt, and grease and got it functioning perfectly. He installed new iron sights but they are substantially easier to shoot than what was on it. I am very proud of my new rifle and it is a blast to shoot (no pun intended tended). There were grumblings of him being retired but I spoke with him over the weekend and he is far from it. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to work on a project rifle. This is my second rifle from him and both turned out extremely well.
