    Looking good, but I'd personally be looking at shortening and slimming down the forend as the proportions aren't quite right now with the short barrel.

    Had to google those. Not sure if I will cut it back now that I think about it. I have stupid long arms and like being able to hold the gun out a bit further out

    Righto guys I'm quite proud of where I have got to today. Can say its shaping up. Went out to our scrap metal pile that I half ass made a year ago and grabbed a cut in half digger bucket and cut a bit for the rail then tapped it and well yeah pics tell the story.

    Might also add I pulled the gun to bits again had a good look and put it back together a bit different and it works like it did before doesn't feel weird anymore. Quite happy I went with my gut instinct and rec checked it or could have been bad later down the track

    You have been a tinkering Toby. What the hell are you doing that for?
    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

    How sbout silver soldering it? The join will be invisable using that method. Braising would be second choice. And say No to Arc!!!

    I'm sure you lot will be glad I didn't have a go using the arc I wouldn't mind using a mig and making the cool spiral pattern.

    I'll ask dad about the braising/soldering as I've never done though I've seen it done a few times so guess that makes me qualified enough to have a go
