    @cameronjackwhite hey mate thats a mod7 right? Did Gunworks flute it for you? Would you get it done again?
    I'm looking at getting my m7 fluted (Bolt and barrel... maybe not the bolt)

    @Timmay it's a model 700 so slightly heavier. Mine was fluted up here in Hawkes Bay but have used gun works in the past. I'd do it again. Went and shot a group today and it's just as accurate as before. If you like your rifle why not?

    New to me but far from new, in fact I believe this is the oldest thing I own, from a bit of research this is probably 1860's vintage. 9mm pinfire, likely French.

    Another of my lockdown projects. Mossberg 500a 12g shotty. Picked it up a while back...has had a hard life. Rusted barrel , receiver and barrel had been attacked by a spray can of green paint and painted in what I guess was supposed to be camo of some discription. Stock was beaten up and so on. Stripped the paint off and found the receiver all scratched through the coating. Bought a trade me picatinny rail which of course was probably chinese and though it was advertised to fit was metric threads on fittings. So drilled and retapped top to fit rail then threw on cheap $30 red dot which is remarkably good. Stripped,sanded and polished receiver. Fitted stock from my 590a1. Made and fitted hand strap on pump. Also repaired safety switch and a few other small mods. Refinished barrel. It's now 15.5 inches barrel length as the pointy end was to far gone with rust to save but internally rust free surprisingly. So now is a short handy shotty easy to point and with the window style red/green dot very fast on target.

    Nice work.
    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

    Absolutely over the moon with my new build. Smithing done by Aj Carr. He truly went over and above. Sent down for a new barrel, came back with trigger lightened, bedded, and threaded with a dpt that I had no idea I was buying lol. It also feeds flawlessly.

    Sako 75 280ai, proof barrel 24 inch, dpt mag can and precision platforms stock. Topped with a vx6 at the minute as my zeiss v6 didnt fit.

    Also thanks to Cam at alpine. Nothings a hassle with that fella
