Well here's something else I tinkered with...
I carved a new stock for an old Essex shotgun. Most people have never even heard of that brand of shotgun. It's an old shotgun that dated back to the early part of the 20th century. Anyway, I took the busted up pieces off the shotgun for a design and duplicated it fairly decent.

Hmmmmmm....Why don't you make replacement US-made AK hardwood stock sets, sell them through your new website, and make a truckload of cash?

I wouldn't be able to make money at it. Things like that need to be cut on a machine.

I think it's Armstrong. I'm not sure. I put it in about 4-5 years ago. It has really been durable though.
