    Gunsmithing It doesn't get any more redneck

    Re: It doesn't get any more redneck You didn't get to see my previous "cheek rest" It was a foam and digi-tape affair. I will be trying the bolt head crown soon. Stay tuned

    Gunsmithing It doesn't get any more redneck

    Re: It doesn't get any more redneck As far as I have been told.... Swede/Bohemian and, German/Irish. These claims are supported by my height:width, dark hair, red beard and near blonde... um... eyebrows. Oh, I am a handsome one.

    Gunsmithing It doesn't get any more redneck

    This is my first attempt at a rifle build and how it has progressed to its current configuration. The whole setup (less the glass) totals up to $818. There is no dangerous game where I live. I shoot recreationally, at paper and carry a handgun for personal defense. My life will never depend on...
