New F class rifle is joining the population

[guntech]

This was a neat build... trued the left hand 40 X action (it was a factory magnum bolt face), chambered the Shilen barrel for the 7mm RSAUM and worked and adjusted the trigger a bit. Bedded about 2 inches of the barrel to the back of the action and installed solid aluminum pillars. I don't know the make of the stock but it certainly is well made.

I hope it shoots well, I think it will, the build went very well with no problems.

2lb Trigger yikes that's a heavy pull.

Other than that......*DROOL*

 

[guntech]

I haven't shipped it yet and I am waiting for instruction on final trigger weight... I think a pound would be nice with this trigger group...

It's too bad the stock manufacturer doesn't supply the stock for a short action. The action look a bit lost in that LA channel.

 

[guntech]

It fits the hand well and is good and stiff but it does look a bit different...

I had the same issue with a Bernosky stock and an XP-100 action. Art Bourne contoured the stock at the back end of the action and I think it ended up looking pretty good.

 

[guntech]

My customer wants to finish the stock himself and possibly he may do that as well... I think it looks better...

Great job Dennis. Look forward to the range report.

Isn't that action still classified as restricted even if you turn it into a rifle?

Dennis. IMO it would look better if the rear was filed and sanded to a nice contour, but I'm not the customer. I sure do like the pretty laminates!

Many years ago we could use XP100 actions to make a rifle... and it was not restricted...

Today we have no such luck...

Now that is a TOP KNOTCH looking job by one of our TOP KNOTCH Canadian gunsmiths. I almost put looking in there...........................LMAO.....

Great job Dennis.

I think more people need to really look at whom they get to do there builds. Someone who knows or someone who thinks they know.

You kids are too fashion conscious.

Oh and I am not jealous at all.

XP-100: Once a Pistol, ALWAYS a pistol. Yes, it is and ALWAYS WILL BE restricted.

Pretty neat build right there. Stock looks like it would handle recoil really well. Even 1 lb is a pretty heavy trigger for an Open gun. 7RSAUM has alwasy appealled to me for an F-O build.

 

[X-fan]

Dennis,

Bet it shoot like a SOB!

How many hours would it take to shape and finish the stock?
To me its not right when the bedding is ###ier than the stock...

Nice bedding btw!

 

[Highwind]

Nice job, especially the "rainbow coloured" stock...

 

[Ian Robertson]

What I want to know is how you stamp the info on the barrel in a nice straight line??

Just another prime example of the government keeping us "safe". - dan
