Yes I was going to do a Speeder in 7X57R as I know a guy with a heap of brass, 8X57R was also a thought, I have seen a real BSA/Lee Speed in 6.5X53R to !

Yumastepside, your one is looking better with the fore end work, when I cut one down like that I use the cut off piece to fill the old sight protector slots, you can make the block a tight fit & use the screw hole on the bottom the hold it while it drys, then cut out the middle !
