Thread: 5.6x57 single shot project

Finally got my hands on a piece of ebony for the grip cap, although it hasn't really been cut the way I would like it will do the job just fine and the price was right.



Hopefully I can make a bit more progress over the next few weeks

judging by the autopsy shots good sir ,this is one mighty impressive piece of artillery .has master grunter tasted its delights yet .
your motto -you are dead ,you just dont know it lie down be still!

Just read through all 4 plus pages, and have to say this is right up there with the best overhaul of a firearm I've seen. Keen to see the progress and final outcome!

Thanks mate, its been slow going with the odd evening here and there but certainly enjoyable.

I sighted in the new scope a few weeks ago but wasn't in a position to do any proper load testing at the time.

Parent cartridge is the 7x57 (or 8x57 to be exact)
It certainly has some herbs, hopefully I can feed it to a deer before too long

Been a while, have started to rough out the shape of the stock.
Ignore the butt pad and grip cap, they are just placeholders to get the shape.
