    My projects last 12 months!

    Since getting my fal I've managed to collect and tinker with a few rifles and shotguns, some more than others...

    My first buy was a pretty humble little jw15 while I waited for my ar15 bits to show up, the action was as nasty as the trigger pull and the safety required 2 weeks of intense steroid treatment to opperate! Took to the thing with some 600 grit paper, grinding paste and 3 hours ofor opening, closing the bolt and pulling the trigger she's a different gun!
    Well worth the $280 scoped and silenced from guncity if you're willing to put in a bit of work.

    In the meantime my ar parts showed up courtesy of nzar15, trademe and a few other places,
    It's an aero upper and lower, basic lower parts kit, TiN BCG, cqr stock extended out 40mm with a bigger buttplate and pad, changalang ambi charge handle with new roll pins, badger ordnance handgaurd, 20" trademe special barrel and my mate gave me a suppressor he'd made!
    Putting it together was surprisingly easy and pretty rewardingName:  20180718_200616.jpg

    Next I picked up a ranger 870 tactical, and we'll the picture kind of explains it..I played too many video games clearly... then I got another because the stock on the other Hurt the mrs's shoulder too much so that's the only stock standard one I have!

    Clays got tiring with an 18" barrel so I picked up a stoeger 3000, promptly lost the charging handle so turned up another.

    It's a bit of 3mm alloy cut and shaped to the same profile as the back of the stock and bolts into the factory holes, thence 2 new holes drilled in that and tapped m6 that hold the 2 little spindle things and the back plate is made from 5mm alum..rubber is just a chunk of set Silicon caulk sanded to shape.
    I did it all athe work
