rwims Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Well here it is. I finally completed my 35 Whelen. It is on a 98-22 action with an A&B f34 barrel, claro walnut stock with ebony forend and grip cap, and a pachmyr recoil pad. Unknowingly ya'll have helped me build it through your questions and answers.

rwims Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks Jim, I did it all. I used the rust bluing from Brownells. I did shoot it in a composite stock but have not shot it in the walnut stock. rwims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pat yourselves on the back too. I like to give credit where credit is due.
