Mock Up

#1 Postby aaronraad » Sun Nov 10, 2013 4:46 pm

Getting closer to being finished. :D

The pistol grip is out of position, I need to knock up a trigger guard, the top trail needs to be shortened and front post for the front rest needs to be fabricated.

PS: no butt stock just the twin rails on the rear bag and to be shot left handed with either eye leaving the right hand free for the reloading and sight adjustment.

The idea of the barrel hanging below the fore-end is interesting. It could be done I guess. Not sure about your current buttstock construction though. Looks to be very flexible. :D

Yeah I bn thinking about swinging the barrel under the "forend" for a while. You just have to be careful about setting it up so the front bag complies with the rules and that you can pass the "clamping" test by being able to lift the gun straight up out of the rest.

Not sure its legal to have no butt stock like that unless you have a pistol license.?

I'll be making a cut-away in the front bag set-up so its supported by the outside of the rail which is 3" wide and the barrel will still be clear. Everything should lift up without interference.

28" of barrel and 10" of action, it will definitely require a double handled pistol grip.

Couldn't find anything definite about a butt stock in the law or ruling? Still comes back to how the range officer feels on the day. Worse case is I add a cardboard cut-out of butt stock to the set-up if it makes them feel safer.

I'll begin trials using a fullbore glove with the pistol grip to handle recoil. Larger calibres would probably have to go back to a full butt stock set-up to handle the recoil.
