On a different note, check out my coffee tale that`s under the new stock

Cool table. How does one attach a knob/handle like that to the crank/bolt arm?

[gerard488]

Got the idea from a post on here a while back, I ground the old knob down till it was round 5/16 diameter then threaded it. The new bolt knob is made from part of what I cut from the barrel at the muzzle. I drilled and tapped it to screw onto the threaded blot handle and used red loc-tite. My barrel is now 19 1/4 inches, Overall length of rifle is 39 1/2 inches. Working on fitting that new stock

Stock is almost finished, Now the magazine. I dont want to use the original axis mag, What would be a good .223 mag to fit into a new wood stock? Doesn`t have to big, I would like to find one that holds 5 rounds.

My Axis is finally ready for the shooting range. 19 1/4 inch barrel, homemade stock, trigger guard and bolt handle. Stock may look different or off center but I made it to fit my hand and my cheek as perfect as possible. I`m going to see how it shoots sometime this week and then fit the magazine.
