Oooh! What a pretty gun! All clean and shiny! But what's with that trigger? Thas a funny lookin' trigger if I ever saw one. Wonder how well it would work. You know, if might work better than a conventional trigger: no sharp edges to cut into your finger. On the other hand, it might let your finger slide on, or off, the trigger. I suppose I would have to try it, and probably try it a lot, in a lot of different conditions, to make any kind of pronouncement. Okay, that's not going to happen. I'm just going to stick with funny lookin'.
Guy does really nice work. His blog is a visual chronicle of his work. Most of the pics are of work-in-progress. Lots (as in many) tools in his shop. It looks like Nirvana. Via Marc.
This is a target rifle. The stock has an adjustable cheekpiece that can be raised or lowered using the thumbwheel set into the side of the stock. The cheekpiece can also be shifted left or right using the allen screw that is recessed into the stock near the butt plate. Notice also that some kind of texturing has been applied to the grip section of the stock. Used to be that checkering was the preferred method of making a section of the surface non-slip, but checkering is done by hand, it's time consuming and it requires skill, all of which have combined to make it very expensive. Plus all the guys who know how to do it are either really old or dead. So now we've got some new kind of technique. Probably all hi-techie and stuff. You still see some checkering on commercial guns, but it is invariably the pressed in kind, not the real hand-cut-with-tiny-little-files kind.
