First build

We all make stuff other than pipes, so here's a place where "anything goes" as far as showing off some of your projects and other hobbies.

First build

Post by mightysmurf8201 »

Just put the final touches on my first build. Scope and see through rings for the iron sights, AND a laser built in to the front sight with pressure switch on/off. 6 position stock with adjustable cheek weld, fore grip, and bipods. Ready for anything! :rockon:

:ROFL: You made a funny! :lol: It was actually a lot of fun to build and not overly difficult. I just finished my 2nd one as well and planning to build a purple/realtree pattern carbine for my wife next. It's very addicting, just like pipe making.

I'm still trying to figure that out. :? I am told you look through the front of the scope for best results.

Depends on how depressed you are. And in the same vein, where does the 'baccy go? Would appear to be self-lighting. Will it pass a pipe cleaner?

Yes Jesse, I have indeed discovered a new blasting process. I load up with blanks, fill the barrell with blasting media, set the pipe up at 300 yds, adjust for windage and elevation, and unleash hell. :takethat:

Very nice! I would love to build one on an AR-10 lower in .308 one of these days. When do we get to see pics of the target? :wink:

I took it out a few days ago, but didn't keep the targets. Sub-MOA with the iron sights. .5" groups with the scope @ 100 yds.

I can't even see the target anymore at 100 yds with irons. But with a scope? :mrgreen: It sounds like you have a real nice shooter there.

I'm not a gun person so excuse my ignorant question.

Did you machine all those parts or is it like a kit you ordered and then machined a couple things? Very cool either way, just curious.
