ANOTHER TENNESSEE SHORT STOCK
« on: February 07, 2018, 12:07:59 AM »
...Another Tennessee 1/2 stock for the members who requested photos ... this one has a wooden barrel rib ... I believe she was shortened from full stock since there are filled dovetails under barrel where lugs would have been .... this gun is maple stocked, Holston cheek-rest and iron mounted .... hope this helps ... Regards, C C Fiddler

Interesting rifle. How are the wood ribs attached on these?  I’m assuming small screws?  Gonna have to build one soon...thanks for the detailed photos!
