Been thinking about those bullet weights - quite heavy, but then, the twist is rather rapid - most twists on the fast side still shoot fine with shorter bullets & the extra twist seems to help post-impact stabilization.

Guy's

Update 5/17/2011

More work and pic's.

I have added some pic's to the AR thread, do not feel like running 2 threads.
My speed in uploading to the AR thread is faster, so I have made it the lead thread.

Here is the link to the AR thread.

Thanks
Nitro

Photos and comments added here to keep the progress and thread intact. NitroX


Update 05/13/2011

I also made a custom sight base to mount a Docter 3.5 MOA red dot sight.

Milled down a Talley ring and tig welded a dovetail mount from a Docter Colt mount to it.

So I will have a removeable Docter mount for this project.

Pics of my mount.

That's going to be a neat little rifle.
If it's OK with you I'll lift the photos from AR and plant them here in this thread.

That pretty much covers it.
Thanks
One note the ammo is not mine but another poster.
I plan on doing something similar.

Hello

Thought I would add this one, It shows how crisp the lines are.
This guy is good with wood and metal.



Thanks
Nitro

PS: Big thanks to Tinker for adding the pics.

The grain structure through the wrist is lovely to look at. Absolutely perfect. Not sure I'm inlove with that dark a stain, though - of course, it's not mine. It will look very nice, once filled and finished, though.

IIRC no stain just Tung Oil.
But in one pic it looks dark and in another it looks red ?
Just flash and lighting I imagine.

Update 07/06/11

Well butt stock is 99% done.
Cut for length, pad, swivel and grip cap installed.
A few more coats of oil and it will be 100% sealed.

Forearm blanks roughed and iron inletted.

See pics on AR thread liked above.

Tinker if you are up for it and want to copy the pics, feel free.

Thanks

Nitro, That is really turning into a beautiful rifle. What do you expect it to weigh? Regardless, what a great gun to take a walk with...

If I recall we were right at 8.5 to 9 lbs.
Just what I asked for.

Here is the link to the AR thread I update this one more often, because of my access.

tks- that's wonderful. When working up loads for my double 12, I really appreciated the scope I mounted on the top rib. It not only added a pound to a light gun, but the aiming clarity and precision of the optic was also a benefit.

This guy is doing some nice looking work.
I'm looking forward to seeing the full piece, and the overall level of finish.

Hello

Got a few more pics to post, forearm work.
He copied my Krieghoff forearm exactly from the pattern I sent him.
It does not quite work with the splinter latch, so this weekend he
will reshape it and make a hybrid between the K gun and some shape that
works with the metal.

Enjoy Nitro

Beautiful looking.
I know that it isn't finished yet, but it really isn't leaning against that rebar...
Is it?

Nitro- looking good, when finished and assembled, please take pics, many of them - but without the shadows. Guess it's getting pretty nail-biting-anxious by now, A.

Got the finished forearm pics today.
A blend between the Krieghoff pattern I made and a shape that works with the original splinter iron.
Very happy with the result.
