Not "gunsmithing" per se...
Had a look online for a 303 Broken shell extractor.
Lots of examples in the US for USD 15 to 20.
Local price : NZD 135 :wtfsmilie: How on gods green earth can someone look at themselves in the mirror when they hike prices like this ?!?
So I spent 30 minutes on the lathe and made a new 303 base for my 308 extractor :thumbsup:

Mid way pre tidy up of my absolute bubbfication of a Dpt chassis buttstock. I fitted a limbsaver off the original stock that required flattening the end of the what was absent recoil pad, fitted a clutch lever as a bag rider mounted off the sling swivel stud and added a bit of thickness and sound deadening to the tube by adding a piece of alkathene. Some of the best/worst work I’ve ever done as it’s kind of perfect now and it was nasty to use with 280rem recoil and a solid Ali buttpad beforehand. I have a second factory stock that’s identical that is un butchered spare so it’s given me the green light to make something functional and usable
I’ll tidy it up after iv used it a bit but it’s hideousness makes me laugh and gives off a good fallout theme so I’ll test it and see where the improvements are needed. Currently it’s a functional prototype so I’ll share it for a laugh

The MSSM.. Marlin Super Short (.22) Magnum...
The .223 was too big so we took Marlin 925 .22 WMR and smallerized it to fit the shooter.

Just some of my tinkering projects

The fun setup to machine true to the bore rather than the outside of a very eccentric Marlin .22LR

2 of my cans the survived testing (destructive testing)
Not sure how I messed up the order of the images but you get the idea :wtfsmilie:
Rem 700 bolt handle upgrade, bit different than the usual.
Cut the handle nearer to the bolt & machined a bit of round down with help of a work mate.
Tig welded together, grind handle + stock to tidy & blue to finish.
Pretty happy with the end product.
