Ok ,it’s raining here .. so no outside photos.
This is the assembled Königin. .. it’s a .20 cal R7 that I built for a women ..
Ok, not just any woman but none other than my own..DO YOU THINK I WOULD WASTE THAT WOOD ON A CUSTOMER ..
This Rifle was stripped and a few machined tweaks done
First is the breech block top is rounded to match the chamber. Now these R7/HW30
do sit higher than say a English Tommy it still lends itself to a much prettier design
Second , the giant Alfred E Neumann lug bolt ears,( breech block screw) that stick out through the stock were machined smaller and the rear lock nut had to be re worked to be slimline to not protrude past the stock
Remember ,smooth lines for smooth skin…
Thirdly, was the custom bottom lug bolt that had to be made on a angle to accommodate the new stock ,it’s blckened to match as are all trigger screws
Fourth, was a full 17 mm shroud that is slipped over the barrel that is shorter ,with a few collectors for lead dust ….
Fifth ,was a EXIBITION grade fiddleback maple stock was made and fitted for length of pull and small hands to fit trigger to grip distance.
pits finished with my custom oil blend to pop the tiger stripe
sixth , , was the complete re polishing and blackening of the action.
There was some big hurdles here as the R7/HW 30 have welded pickle forks and there IS a heat tranfer line in all factory guns.. (Why the Germans went cheap is beyond me.. you have to CNC the part anyways,why not add threads and you have a seamless transition) . I had to do some heating and tig filling .. as there was some micro pits..
remember, these are not their top-tier weapons. That being said Quality Control at HW has went down
The polishing and prep is extremely laborious and time-consuming. But if you want that deep black gloss finish it’s gonna take time and patience
As for power plant I did not mess around considering it’s already doing 8 foot pounds with a Vortek PG four kit in it. This gun will be nothing but a pinker or target spinner probably 10 m type stuff as we table sit and shoot
I am in the process of making CNC METAL blued trigger guards for HW, Webley, and Air Arms
that will go on this as my others. I hate cast parts.
Im not sure on Checkering as ,its soft hands remember.. KÖNIGIN. I even personalized it with German font and her initial and second for the Gus name. ..

That rifle is elegantly executed sir!

Talk about a silk purse from a sow's ear!
Okay, I want it back now. I'll give you what you paid me, and because I'm generous, I'll even cover shipping!

That's a beautiful weapon, your lady must have been thrilled to get it.

Very well proportioned stock. I really like the rollover cheek piece shape. Some custom stock makers are making over exaggerated pistol grips and caps but I think yours is spot on. Classic
