Oh my god so stressfull. Only rough shapped and a lot more to go. I was forced to make a decision that I've beennthinking about doing anyways. The white dot in the middle of rhe rosewood is a dowel and thats where I will now be putting a quick detach cup for a sling.

Looking good.

Is it just me, or does the left side of the forearm look a little thicker (wider) than the right side in the second to last photo. Maybe it's just the angle or lighting/shadow making it appear that way.

I was too freaked out with the belt sander and decised to hang it up for the night and come back with hand tools that I'm more familiar with

[futurerider103]

Its not necessarily thicker just one side is rounded more I think.

Well did a lot of work today and its starting to take better shape! At least I think. My girlfriend liked the blunt end the way it was before but oh well its my gun not hers.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190131/adaaeff2d5699f2118f4c311df300824.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190131/c68bf6cfce13b99f68e443ea53f27dd9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190131/88e1e3309662646b23a4e587beafb556.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190131/ba277823550ed026fcf8f8ed75e3c042.jpg

Looking good! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Looking good! I can't wait to see how it turns out.Thank you. Its definitely a different kind of accomplishment to make a completely custom build on my own than just putting together the run of the mill parts gun AR

[futurerider103]

Got some important parts I today. I don't think I'll put then in today but maybe this weekend.

I ended up using 1 of the pillars to make both. This wasn't too hard as long as you have a belt sander, micrometer and a dremel. I did try to drill the holes 1 size at a time but it broke away the wood. This sucks but since I'll be using jb weld I think it'll be ok.

Notching the pillars to fit the action kinda sucked but oh well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/3be5af3e34d5f18f1123fe8353beee55.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/e68e16906999886d731343a5326fa870.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/00fef8108f8ff984954dffc0c2d3e02c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/e6e76fb4c0f63b822e15c9dfdba85acd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/4c876e702daafa7604bade5635ac978f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/d203dc8f5ee163965469d3b87d032cb4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/41f19c820d23cd47acc997c060144e68.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/f791c28517d68923b053a4da27264877.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190202/f32b3057422c7c624735d357db767653.jpg

Very cool. Would love to se some up close photos now that it is 95% complete.Still more shaping to do on the for end then a light 600grit sanding to the whole thing then lacquer it. I will be installing QD swivel mounts as well. 1 in the forest where you can see the dowel that holds the rosewood and not sure where in the butt yet.
The pictures can't show the chatoyance but soon enough is going to look awesome!
I do want to get lower rings as well but I'm super excited to get this going.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/535bdedb473b1818ddef82a676c72329.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/39b54a337faf774783f80ea527fec9fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/b8d79469e688ceed6d3e36a0a081ad37.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/bd6c8a0f5034de1b2f69c9f7726a1cdc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/0da7692f68ace60cb1f691c7bc728e00.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/d3ee0a578e6648286e6611edd8ed5967.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/57600eaf3014519ca8f6b2436685758d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/c9ffb13e46b3efcbc2d632b01093a5f2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/c08f6238950f8ab99e4f33f5670761af.jpg

Great job. It must feel great to have it done.

[futurerider103]

Great job. It must feel great to have it done.Oh it's not done. I still have to finish the final shaping on the for end and then speedy the lacquer then install QD cups THEN it'll be done except I want to get a scope with a lighted reticle for night hunting
