The short block was zipped up over the weekend. The top end comes next. Were hoping to rattle dust out of the ceiling tiles soon.

First, gut the back end to remove the light weight foamy stuff. Hardware won't attach to it very well. Next, light weight filler. Tom@Manners sold me a box of his light weight filler material years ago. Whips up like instant spuds. Once it cures, in the mill to be cut: With two...

Mcmillan 54.18 blank is where this started. This is a "double lug" 1022 made by Kidd. I had no archive data on this action so I started by modeling up the receiver. You'll see in the photos where the grunt work was tested first on a piece of 4x4 cribbing. I brought one my rifles in as a...

This one is a present for someone close to me. As a teen, I spent my summers working on a big grain farm in North Dakota. The owner is more of a Dad to me than mine ever was. He has a birthday coming up and I felt the urge to try and say thank you. I chambered it in 6.5mm Creed. It works...

The odds of me ever making another one of these is likely zilch. It was fun to design and program so all is good. This has 20moa built into it as well. I have a mess of legit zero moa MARS rails so I skipped making the side mount base pieces.

Sent it.

Here's the artifact gents. This was peeled off of a legit XM-3 that saw its last deployment during Fallujah. Starting the dissection today.

The dern thing wouldn't fit in my usual workholding so this. . . 50 cal stuff. Now I want another 5x because setup is the shizzle.

8 hour drive yesterday, so I popped on the podcast about the Biden IRS whistleblower hearing. Dear Whistleblower guy: 99% of Americans can give two shits about whether you blow whistles or skin flutes at night in your own home in your own bed. Your 5-minute dissertation about how gay you are...

HoOdRaT 2.0 loading... It's headed to the hone today.

We've been hinting around at this for the last few weeks. The artifact parts have arrived and I am about to start with the modeling work. I feel like I'm holding something from a Raiders of the Lost Arc movie. So it begins. I'll post some additional photos as I progress through the autopsy.

I threw this up a few days ago in the Bolt Action section. I wished I'd of listed it here as I failed to realize SH has a section devoted to this stuff. A friend gave me one of these original bases to reproduce. I ran the artifact piece through the metrology lab and was able to replicate...

I was approached about this XM3 stuff by an old friend who used to manage the Remington Custom Shop down the street from us. He brought me one of his personal EFR mounts to look at and possibly reproduce. If I understood him correctly, the story goes that Iron Brigade was originally tasked...

Made from SeaDek, these things are tough while still safe for delicate surfaces. Very cool stuff. https://www.longriflesinc.com/products/lri-benchtop-work-mat?fbclid=IwAR361aYkXMwl_5eLLC-IepQIyoO038Lilxl4iMEA6KBx1_0jUJ14OW_BSxw

I cannot wait to watch these things turn my garden (neighborhood?) into a lawless wasteland of death and partially-eaten feral children.

Ever since the Remington implosion sourcing M700 parts has been increasingly harder. We ran out of OEM shrouds last week, so we went about solving that yesterday. My goof up. G41 and G42 dyslexia. Lol. 1st Op parts: 2nd Op: As a friend said, "Holding onto small parts in a...

Entertainment at its finest. Lol.
