    Still looks funny atm but it should look better once I start thinning it down around the action. For now I'll leave it fat so I have something to hold in the vice


    Inletting is rough as guts I better not show the bottom




    I'm wondering if I want to keep going atm or try find where I can buy a grip cap from. Then it gives me a shape to follow as well as look nice
    Ill ask my guy here if hes got one for you

    That'll be awesome thanks. Could you let me know the measurements for it if you find it? I might not have left enough space for one to be put on

    Hey thanks Chop3r it arrived ages ago forgot to say cheers. Not sure if I will use it though it's pretty small even compared to my .22lr's so I might keep looking. Would you like it back?

    I could use a bit of white plastic. When I brought the studs for the stock I also got the white spacers so white grip cap spacer would match the rest of the stock aye.

    Bloody hell I sound like a women matching shoes to her eye colour or whatever

    Monique says you sound like a bloody woman Toby.
    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

    How hard is it to make it a nice shape? It's either trying to shape up something my self or just buy one new where ever you get them from
