Corkie121 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Very nice work, how did you find milling the wood? Need any different tooling or was it just metal bits you used? Cheers, Corkie Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 used a 2/3 fluted bit and went slow, not that different to metal really test fit, I cut the stock cocking lever off and re made it with a rod and ball. Scope from my Alpine All apart again for oiling Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Holy cow... thats really damn nice. I have soft(er) spot for slimline/light weight stocks but I still love yours. In case anyone is wondering, its the fat front end that I dont like about it. But, mneh.. thats just me, besides with a bipod I think it would look awesome. KW Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 awesome work. i think it could look better with a slimmer front as well, but it's still very nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was going for the triangle style sporting rifle look, big wide flat base to sit on a rest Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Aye, I can see where you are going with this. I can't wait for the final pics of it all done, BTW, I think the best part is the new 'sporting' bolt handle, nice work there. How sturdy is it? Link to post Share on other sites

Raven 6 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very nice work! Really slick! Just one question.. how does the buttplate stay in place? I mean.. what kind of system are you using? Kinda curious since you didn't post all the small details as you usually do Link to post Share on other sites
Zogmeister Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Candyman you are an amazing craftsman... I am amazed everytime by your workmanship and attention to detail. I think I asked one time before if you were a trained engineer and I think you said weren't? You have a natural raw talent man. How many hours did this project take in total??

Candyman Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hello, thank you all Time I dont know, not that long I suppose, maybe 25-30 hours so far, i'll have it wrapped up inside 40 hours. Price will be around £350 uk Kenworth W900 I was going for a flat base, target rifle style, i like that look. AnotherJesus Oil is linseed i think, same stuff i used on the hamerli pistol grip and WA2000 wood. Raven 6 yeh what he said, the 2 tiny holes on the side house grub screws that tighten on the rods. Position can be set between flush and about 2-3 inches out. Zogmeister Thanks, im not an engineer, i work in an office with computers but most of my spare time is spent making stuff, the more you do somehting the better you get at it.

Punkypink Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Sigh... that is just pure sex. By the way Candyman, you're not a gym regular are you? Was watching one of yr other build's assembly vid and my friend says that your arms indicate that you go to the gym a lot. I felt that those arms probably come more from manual work such as those airsoft custom builds. Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 lol I dont go to a gym but I do have weights at home and I work out pretty regular, thanks for noticing! Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Working on ones wood for 40 hours will make any mans arms more shapely. Amazing work as usual, Candyman. Link to post Share on other sites
Raven 6 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Raven 6 yeh what he said, the 2 tiny holes on the side house grub screws that tighten on the rods. Position can be set between flush and about 2-3 inches out. I see, that's kinda what I figured. I thought there could have been a faster way to do it that I wasn't aware of though. Anyway, awesome job as always! Link to post Share on other sites

Candyman Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 all in now i think, not sure about painting the silencer or not, anyway time for paint and final touches. Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrarilove1 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 That is just pure sex. What she said . That is the best looking marksman's rifle I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 i quite look the silver silencer, it works especially well with the target rifle look. perhaps a full 2 tone colour scheme might be in order? Link to post Share on other sites
mattmanic Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think just a silver bolt would finish it off nicely. Looks awesome! I especially love the grain of the wood. Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just about there now I have left the rear plate silver (polished) and the silencer brushed but I can/could change to black. There is a captured bolt in the stock that screws to the barrel to lock the takedown. Up for sale in a bit, offers around £350 UK, I dont want to send outside the UK, its a bit of a pain.
