Hope you like it gents. It weighs an absolute ton (yes, the main barrel is 3.2mm wall steel, so it can be upgraded to a "Tony Lewis" spec). It's currently painted in "Ordnance Tan", though i'll chuck a can of Krylon into the bag, so we can do as the Germans did, with a bit of "field camouflage" should we want to.

It splits down into the following loads:

Baseplate
Barrel
Bipod

Anyway, some pics. Sorry for the quality - was done on the phone.-- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available --

OK,

Final cost was a *little* higher than I wanted, but being a welded cap'd steel tube, its a bit more futureproof than just a plain PVC tube. Total cost is £229.42. I'll bring the paperwork with me to Husky.

Still, if I was in Work Mode, i'd be delivering it 5 years late and 3 times over budget :roll:
