Thread: The lightening project

And the fast twist before its bead blast.
One of my pinned 30moa rails too.

almost looks like reo bar LOL.

Jeez Micky Duck, you reckon you could save some machining time haha. Forge a T-head on the end of the reo bar for the lugs - sweet as.

All that weight off and then put a rail on it???

Na rails just on there for now. Will have rings only.
Likewise the handle won't be there for long

Fantastic work, very neat - love it!

Wow lads, the work on the Tikka by Rob and Howa by Stocky is bloody nice, love seeing a rifle taken to 10/10ths

"C"s get degrees....

And that is some very nice machine work.

Yeah and what's a C 50-55%

I think the people that use the c word to describe people with (engineering) degrees as "c's" must have had a severe deficit in their upbringing and education.

I think that you should take a deep breath and get over yourself. I was pointing out that 3 years of C marks will get you a degree. As an engineer who also has an MBA, employing a BE (hons) qualified design engineer, I am not going to suggest that the honorific you appear to be suggesting is applicable to all engineers - at least, not in a disproportionate degree (see what i did there?) to their numbers in society.

If you've got any other concerns, try pm. It might prevent an unnecessary public display.

sorry I really misunderstood you. And you seem to have misunderstood me as well.

I have a question , it might show how much of a rookie I am when it comes to guns but Ill ask anyway.
Will the rife you are reducing the weight in , have a heavier recoil than before ?
Thanks

yes. The heavier the rifle the less recoil generally (everything else being equal)

Since the weight-savings are comparatively small, with these modifications there might not be a felt change in recoil.

Yes. Any mods must also be balanced against "how often will I fire this compared to how long I will be carrying it" and also "when I fire this will I develop a flinch?" and "how much fun am I gonna have building this thing"
