Thread: A Lee Speed stock

Some time last year I received a call from a guy who had seen some of my rifles and asked if I would do a Lee Speed for him. Reluctantly I agreed as initially it was only the forestock but in feb he said that the rifle he had been after had sold to someone else but had a tang safety LS being finished up with sights so he would send the stock blank directly to me from its source. I have had it sitting under the fire until the barreled action turns up as the wet weather (high humidity) makes it necessary to protect it from any take-up until I have all the components in hand to make a start. There are a couple of buffalo horn tips on the way for fore end tip and grip cap. Haven't heard what he wants for a butt plate as yet and may even suggest buffalo horn for that as well but that will be his decision.
