I will be adding to this thread over the next several months what is going on at the bench.
The new build will be a bit of old and new, and something for the grandson to really get his
feet wet under some tough competition. Of course he'll be considered a junior. Zach is 13.
Going to start with a chassis and a Savage PTA. Looking in the vault, has me digging out an
early model MDT HS-3. i had already converted an Oryx Chassis and wanted to do the same
principle.....The HS-3 uses an AR buffer tube for the butt stocks. i did away with it, and turned
a solid piece of stock to replace it. With it threaded in place, and with a liberal amount of epoxy,
It's now a solid one piece unit. I then machined that to accept the butt stock I made for the
Oryx. Just two screws, and I can switch back and forth quickly.....
I'll be adding as things happen, and that will include a new wild cat in the works for it.
