Hello everyone,
My name is Steven Lunsford and I'm new to gunsmithing but anxious to learn. I work in communications for the DOD and I have a strong interest in learning to build custom rifles. I have been shooting for years but have just recently started learning about building precision rifles. I have been extremely fortunate because I have had the honor to be able to work with Robert Gradous for the last 4 months in his shop and he has been an outstanding teacher/mentor. I'm usually only able to work with Robert on the weekends, but the time that I have been able to spend with him is invaluable. I recently did a little work on one of my rifles with help from Robert and I would like to share some pictures of this rifle with you. The rifle is a rem 700 5r. I installed a badger thruster muzzle brake, cerakoted it, bedded it with devcon, and installed a jewel trigger. In the pictures of the 3 shot groups the load is lapua brass, 50 grains of 748 with a moly coated sierra 125 grain spitzer. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to any comments.
