I'm halfway through a CF stock for my Sako.

Also, my first prototype of a Steyr SSG69 mag housing that I reverse engineered for a guy on our UK stalking forum has turned out way better than I expected.

What is the SSG bottom made of?

The factory one is brittle plastic. The prototype is plastic. The final one will be CNC machined aluminium.

If you ever feel inclined to knock one up to suit the long action, model M variant I would be very keen!

Me too, I'd be keen on a replacement for a long action M.

Thank you to you clever buggers posting up your work, really appreciate you going to the trouble to photograph & post, plus do those cool projects !!

Awesome !

Well, I'll keep posting here since we're still in lockdown here in Scotland and I've got another 2 weeks of furlough from work...

My first successful carbon fibre stock. Made plenty mistakes and learn a lot each time I mould stuff. It's coming in at 736g and feels really stiff so am pretty chuffed with it. I'll bed it over the weekend and paint it next week with 2 pack polyurethane paint.

I have been chipping away at my double rifle project.
That will still be going for the next pandemic

But I have been matching a pile of castings and doing drive wheels and shafts for a high precision 2" wide belt linisher

It will be for finishing small gun parts





I still need to fabricate a spring tensioner for the top arm
Fit the table and belt backing plate
Scrounge a 1/2 hp motor and get it swinging at about 3000 rpm

The battery drill can run it at 1200 rpm to test the tracking and wheel alignment

And it's complete - painted matte OD Green and tipping the scales at 750g.

Got some silver solder and non corrosive flux in hand
So did my first laying top rib test piece

Can only improve with practice.
Certainly nice and strong and can't get it off

And a curved top rib test
Went better than the flat one
Lots to learn

And then I milled the heavy flat rib to a nice curve and think i have found what will work when I do the double rifle barrels

Great work, you’re very skilled - a way more skilled than I.
Keep us all posted eh?
