New idea - Springfield 1903 made from a vsr... am I crazy?

just as steiner says, how many did you say you had to make after that one? two more wasnt it, in 3 weeks, good luck.

just one more and now I have the process sorted it shouldnt take anywhere near as long as this one. it will definetly be ready in time

and thanks guys glad it turned out well

edit: if i do the chop method as with the first one we're looking at aprox 5 or 6 evening build time. if its the dremel method who can say... going to start cutting the 2nd stock tomorrow. and just a case of going from there

well after fiddling with the stock today found some real messyness internally as well as some more cracks and general problems which has pretty much ruled out the dremel method. going to do the chop and join as I did with whoswill's. can get most of it ready before the mp001 arrives as its on the way from hongkong at the moment.

so once it arrives it'll go together fairly swiftly

well its done could have finished it sat but took my time with it, being fragile and all. its alot stronger now though the handguard just cracked a bit again when put on the gun. not a huge crack so can be repaired later.

the new metal work ordered from egun wasnt such a good fit so going to have to lop a bit off the front of the stock post churchills and the handguard wasnt a great fit either so will sand that to flush after too. the odd bit of stain needs a touch up but no where obvious so it can wait too

watch out germans here we come

Looks good mate! Is that a cat or a racoon hat?

Same here, had problems all my life with them - however strangely our little bugger JJ doesn't give me any problems, despite the fact he's a long haired weirdo.
