Posting Pics for Ron. ![]() 1) My workshop, AKA the "Sanctum Sanctorum" ![]() 2) Rifle barrels, screwed and soldered into the monoblock. Top rib and sights set in place. ![]() 3) Close-up view of quarter rib with Weaver bases screwed and welded into place. Rear sight is a NECG from Brownell's, and has been rough-filed for elevation. ![]() 4) Hi-Viz front sight and NECG window hood from Brownells. Top rib is from Crown Press but I have modified it a great deal. ![]() 5) You can just make out the seam here between the rifle barrels and the monoblock. ![]() 6) Bottom view of rifle barrels with bottom rib from Crown Press screwed into place and sling swivel base installed. I like to screw the ribs into the barrel spacers, as well as soldering them. This takes some of the load off of the solder joints when you're carrying a heavy rifle on a sling. It also ensures that the rib is not going to let go and leave you stranded in the middle of Africa. ![]() 7) The rifle barrels on the action with the fitted shotgun barrels below. Note that both sets of barrels have their own forearm assembly and all pieces are now serial-numbered alike. ![]() 8) A second view of the same. ![]() 9) Close-up view of Leupold Vari-X III, 1.5x-5x, clamped onto Weawer bases with Leupold QRW rings. ![]() 10) Over-all view of the same. ![]() 11) Looking down the iron sights. ![]() 12) This is the steel Weaver base stock from Brownells that I welded on to the rear of the top rib from Crown Press and milled as seen in photos. ![]() 13) View of barrels, spacers TIG-welded into position, muzzle wedge in place, and both ribs lying below. ![]() 14) Quarter rib with the front QD base removed from its mortise. I matted the quarter rib and the front ramp with a 50 LPI checkering file, ![]() 15, 16, & 17) close-up views of barrel spacers, welded into place. ![]() 15, 16, & 17) close-up views of barrel spacers, welded into place. ![]() 15, 16, & 17) close-up views of barrel spacers, welded into place. |
