    Prototype 2 milling in progress. This one is in red beech, each half is laminated from 2 blanks (resulting in 4 laminations across the whole stock width). This should give it good stability, hopefully without killing the nice aesthetic of the timber. Again, it will be sealed fully - inside and out, so shouldn't be super affected by moisture anyway.

    I need to resolve the design a bit more before I do any for others! I'll also need to borrow an action to measure for the inletting (or get someone to measure it up for me).

    Now that would just be silly.

    Altho it could be made with a decent lenght of pull thus vastly improving the 7

    Very clever. Watching with interest.
    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

    Don't worry, we're nearly up to the bit where I notice a hilariously dumb mistake in the design

    Using the current design, my (admittedly questionable) math gives me 3.7kg for a Ti version - I'll stick with timber for now...

    (edited the maths, i was way out)

    Fitted the dowels, finished the bulk of the inletting (I thought) and sealed the inside:


    Gluing the two halves together, always a bit scary:
