    I have a stug Carbon stock on order for my R93, due in the new year, if I can find a donor barrel for it I'd like to join the short barrel 284 crowd but that's a long term project. I also have another stock on order to lighten up my Winchester due mid year.

    Always on the look out for a tidy Winchester 94 in 30/30
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    I've got a Stug stock in short Sako, a Sako Vixen action & I cant decide what to make from it. Have one already in 223 & 6x45....was thinking maybe 6.5 Grendel.
    Also need/want a short bushpig of some sort, prob 6.5 too. So two plans for 2017

    Making a Glock standard gun, no idea why really, will be fun, teach me to only hit A's and cheaper to run than the 40

    .223 bolt action for me as I work towards needing a new safe.

    Preferably with a fast twist rate so I can sling the heavier lead.

    Anybody out there thinking of moving one on??

    Something in 300 winmag and then a bayonet friendly brake for the cunty Mauser. Maybe a 30/30 since I have some of that ammo I can't seem to move on.

    Sell a couple of Mini-14's and a Mini-30 (all e-cat), maybe sell the SLR and the SKK (e-cats), sell the CZ .22Mag, then complete the 6.5 Creedmore build, suppress the Marlin Camp 9, and look for something in .44 mag.

    For me it will be a new caliber to learn from, develop and enjoy hearing it go bang. At present I am enjoying trimming the safe a bit. it has been a succesful excercise and helped fund me into other things.

    I want to start gathering parts for a 375 build, All I've got is the scope and rings at the moment.

    No idea what I want to build it out of, I think the build will take me a few years.

    I suggest gun parts as car parts or plumbing parts would probably be a bit dodgy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
