Hello guys, Feb. 1 I ordered a new Bergara 45-70 encore barrel from ebay, sent it to Jeff for a HIS install. Received it in the mail today! Talk about fast service, WOW! Machine work is first class,and fast turnaround.Thank you Jeff! I mounted the forearm adapters tonite,and that is a real job. The adapters have to be modified, and new 8x40 screws cut down. I will tap a hole for a thimble tomorrow. I am making a thumbhole stock from a piece of walnut that was cut here 5 years ago. It has taken me 2 days to shape and do most of the inletting. This is my second smokeless encore. (Ive got 2 grandsons) First one has a savage plug,and is a real tack driver. Hope this bargara barrel is as good. With the weather forecast here in central Va., looks like I will have plenty time to finish to this rifle. Leftyml |

I'll be interested in seeing the finished product. I'm sure it'll be a shooter.

Cannot wait to see some pictures of that. I am a big fan of walnut stocks.

Good luck with the barrel, we had Jeff convert 2 for us, haven't gotten a chance to shoot them yet due to the weather however the work came out great.
Good Luck
