Thread: Self isolation gun projects

Finished, ready to rezero.

Round 2 of lockdown projects, this time an ancient Vostok 22 ( no mention of Toz on it).
I’ll sand and linseed oil the stock, not sure what to do with the pressed-in ‘engraving’ on the pistol grip.
And I’ll buff up the barrel and bolt, I’ve already given them a clean with turps and brake-clean, lots of crud came out.

I need a rear site and magazine to complete the rifle, the hunt is on!

Patience is a virtue! I finally fired up my fully rebuilt '46 Chevy Fleetmaster yesterday after a 2+ year effort. I was delayed by a wee health problem for a few months and then delays in getting parts from the USA (plus some gun work). The last few weeks have been spent trying to sort out the Mickey Mouse wiring shambles that someone did about 1980. I lost patience with it and cut the lot out and fully rewired the car front to back. The rebuilt '72 vintage 250 cubic inch inline 6 is now putting out 260 HP and has a real mean cackle through the twin pipes. I just have to bleed the brakes and it is road test time, just in time for summer cruising!

I have got all the basic bits for a .44 Mag version but I have to finish the stock latch on the Mk 1, and a few other people are waiting on jobs so I will get them sorted first. It is bloody busy being retired!
