Earlier this year, I stuck a red dot on a Savage A-17 I had. My daughter really liked it and wanted one on her Rascal. I figured why not and got to it.
After checking the parts bin I found a Vortex Venom and a Burris Glock mount. Perfect. Now all I had to do was drill the burris mount to match the mounting holes on the Rascal. To my surprise it is the same pattern as a Mossberg 590 which I already had made, so all I had to do was center and drill. First problem now was the bolt did not have enough clearance, so I snuck in a few 'shims' (washers) to raise the base. The mount went on good and holds up nice and solid.
The next problem for her was the cheek height. She switched to more of a chin weld then a cheek weld. Back to the parts bin and I dug out a piece of Kydex. got my shape cut, and mounted it using 1/4" hardware and chicago nuts. touched up with some black paint.
It was a fun night and I got her to do most of the work. I setup the drill press and aligned it, she drilled it. She also did the heat gun and I formed the Kydex.
What fun projects have you guys done with your kids?
