Martini Cadet and Henry Stocks

These are actual production stocks, showing the shaping of particular stock patterns. They can be carved in any wood you desire.

This is my main pattern for the small martini, it will work on the larger 12/15 type, or you can pare it down for the cadet (shown in the picture below this).  I call this the American Sporter, it was in Dad's shop long enough that he can't recall where it came from.  I bore these for the drawbolt ($50.00) and it is pretty simple to fit them up.

Here we are winter of 2005.
Having acquired a Cadet action and a Kimber .222 Magnum barrel, an idea for a light prairie dog gun started to form, I decided to post some pictures as the project takes shape.  

Taking the action and barrel to John McGlothin in Raton, it was decided the barrel could be cut back and rechambered to .218 Bee.  The lever had been cut off sometime in the past, so an extension will be welded on, and the new stock will determine the needed arch and length for the lever.

I will be working on a forearm pattern next.

Pics will be posted as time allows and the project progresses.

Here is my cadet in the early stages, buttstock fit and bedded. The lever and pistolgrip still rough. The buttplate is not fit yet.

At this point the buttplate is fit and bedded, the forearm has been inlet to the barrel and receiver, then glassbedded. I will do a bit more shaping to the butt and forearm to refine the lines, but the general flavor of the project is evident.

This is the buttplate fit on the unfinished stock. It will be bead blasted and blued, which will give it a matte finish similar to a rust blue.

This photo sent by one of my Australian customers, I rotated the picture so it would be right-side up.... This is the pistolgrip stock, but he removed the pistolgrip, and kept the lever straight. I would not have guessed it would turn out this well, but obviously it did!
Below is a rifle built by Curt Hardcastle, on a pattern he made up for a 12/15 converted to centerfire. Below that is a detail of the lever and grip

For the Large Martini action...

For the large frame actions, I offer 2 stock patterns, both based on the original American
sporting patterns.

The straight grip, shown in the photo below, is known as the Killdeer,

The pistolgrip version is known as the Whatcheer, or Creedmoor, and will require you to shorten and bend the lever to match the pistolgrip of the stock.

Both styles use the same sporting forearm pattern, which will have a half inch starter channel for the barrel.
