    Well, plenty of work to go on the walnut stock for my Anschutz (from the blank), and before I do final shaping I want to recontour the tang of the receiver. Replacement trigger blade and bolt knob to make too. Probably make a proper recoil pad grinding jig also. If I get to the end of that I've got 3 Emcostar wood work centers to strip and combine into 2 good ones. But given that my job is going to carry on through even if working from home, and there's kids to keep entertained as well, I doubt I'll make that much extra progress.

    @Martin358 Its from USA Mag-spark from Warren Industries

    But I think Neil Hayes has a few different models available that could be modified is the tread you want isn't in stock

    Actually now that I have one it would be relatively easy to replicate
    I brought a spare top cap because it would be easy to loose i the field when the adrenalin is flowing for a follow up shot
    It's bloody simple

    I mainly intend using it for winter hunting because I had a few slow ignitions when I was tahr shooting last winter
    It would also be useful for using up the 777 I brought to try out and found it wasn't the greatest with normal ignition caps

    if I had a workshop similar to yours id do a lot more that's for sure. Don't have access to the metal working gear since I left the last job. makes doing some of the things I can do pretty hard.
    Got some minor action to stock fitting for one of the P14 projects (ex 308 target rifle, probably going to be a 300 win mag one day), and some tweaking to the other P14 303 to see if that shoots better.
    Some stock work on the SxS shottie to try to make something a little better than a sows ear.
    Some rebedding on the 25-303 and got a handful of rounds to see if that shoots any good before I start reloading for that otherwise it will turn into a 264 win mag-cant do that bit.
    Maybe some playing around with the lee speed project but fitting express sights I cant do. need to shoot that first and see how that barrel goes

    Fitting a recoil pad to the wee 7.63x39 I got from Micky Duck.
    Not that the recoil (which isn’t much) worries me on the six pound rifle, it’s more to get my eye back from the scope ( I’ve a long scrawny neck!) and to make a non-slip butt for when I’ve got the rifle leaning against a tree/rock whatever.

    Keep us posted on your progress with the stock (photos etc)

    Am going to build one for my CZ 223 as soon as I can find a nice piece of walnut.

    Greetings All,
    Projects. Where do I start? My scoped Martini has a Weaver No 60 base fitted to the barrel which leaves the scope too far forward for all but an old Leupold 4 power. A rail type base that would extend back to the receiver would allow a 10 power scope my son has lent me to be fitted. Research and modification. There is a P14 in the cupboard that has been converted to a target rifle with no sights. Needs a base (modified) and ears removed. A H & R break open action needs a .22 Hornet and .30-30 barrel fitted together with sights. My scoped .303 could do with a better butt stock. An M38 6.5 x 55 could benefit from a new stock or at least some improvements to the current one. Then there is load development for the 7 mm SAUM and I haven't even opened the cupboard and looked yet. Then there is a new woodshed and next years firewood and the garden. I think I need a cuppa.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    @Russian 22 interesting
    Doesn't seem to be online? probably such a small amount it doesn't make it. Might give them a ring and see how much they want to rip me off. Don't want to spend a shit ton on a potentially naff barrel

    I am never short of gun projects but I will be spending the next few months completely repowering and modifying my '46 Chevy Fleetmaster (250HP modified 250 cubic inch inline 6, TH350 auto trans, Camaro 10 bolt rear end, lowered, 15" wheels, front discs, power brakes, electric assisted steering). I am just starting the dismantling process now after having finished rebuilding the engine. It will still look like a standard Fleetmaster but perform up to modern standards.
