Title: Leman I just finished up
Post by: Justin Urbantas on April 15, 2019, 07:33:20 PM: Here's my latest build to show you guys. I was super happy how the stock took the stain and finish. I decided to do all iron on this gun. It's my first attempt at a Leman, and I think it turned out okay. I thought the patchbox was pretty interesting how the spring is set up. As always I welcome constructive criticism to get better and better. Thanks, Justin.

Post by: Daryl on April 15, 2019, 07:56:34 PM: Very nice, Justin - you will, of course have it at Hefley Creek this year?
A nice stain and finish on the rod would be very nice as well.

Post by: rich pierce on April 15, 2019, 08:49:36 PM: Nice lines. The only thing I’m wondering about is the patchbox placement - seems more forward than usual?
Title: Re: Leman I just finished up
Post by: Justin Urbantas on April 15, 2019, 08:56:30 PM: I may have it at Heffley if it isn't sold by then. I thought having the patchbox forward like that was odd too, but the pictures I saw, and the plans I got from TOW have the box forward like that.

As you can see Leman didn't always put the wilted lily patch boxes in the same location. Yours looks just fine to me.

By golly you’re right!

Post by: Brian cox on April 16, 2019, 05:50:58 AM: Very nice build. Perhaps the forward patchbox was intentional so there would be more wood behind the inlet. From the pictures it looks as if the hole of the patchbox is behind the back part of the cheek rest. I like the rifle.

Post by: Nordnecker on April 16, 2019, 01:39:32 PM: I think the stock looks great.

Post by: Davemuzz on April 16, 2019, 06:15:55 PM: Not all lemans were built the same. Even thought they came from the same factory. I like what you have done. Very nice work!!
