The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I don't know whether it's age, being a parent or the Tramadol but something sparked the urge in me to add a wooden accessory to my black metal and plastic Weapon-Of-Mass-Plinking.
A quick Google had me bored of the same old grips, stocks and hand-guards; I wanted something unique, something I hadn't seen on a rifle before.
I chopped down a nice Silver Birch from the back forty, got comfy in my favourite rocking chair and got to a'whittlin'.
After many hours of work, cups of tea and yelling at our Gurt to empty the spitoon I was done.
The end result turned out quite well I think.


Next up I might whittle a bolt or hammer, maybe a nice 2-stage trigger.
Thanks for lookin'.

Getting there, waiting on some bits but shouldn't take too long to finish...

I was wondering that as well.

Now that my work bench is back together I can hopefully make some progress taking it off the bread board and onto a PCB

It reminds me of a bizarre version of a Russian Bakelite mag!

Now that's a good idea. I wonder if I can get some plum film :-)
