Nice rifles, strat!!

I always wanted to build one like that, but don't know where to start

Jack,

thanks Jack!

I was going to build it myself, I've done several, but this one posed a problem, I wanted the most accuracy possible. I had the reciever I wanted, but needed to index a threaded barrel (for accuracy) and didn't have the machine shop. I then looked at other avenues, and finally began by calling McMillan. They was a four month wait for their stock, which gave me time to think the rest through. When I recieved that, I called Scott at Volquartsen, told him what I wnated, and although he makes a good firearm, I also explained that I wanted the Tony Kidd trigger, Scott was very cool about the whole thing, his response was, "buy the entire rifle, send me your stock, I'll put it all together for you and glass bed it", with that I sent him my stock and the Kidd trigger, he built everything for me and sent me emails the whole time keeping me up to date.. finally he shipped it out to me. This was just a very cool experience at every level.


here's a couple I built, the top one is fiberglass stock, carbon fiber sleeved barrel, I tweaked the triggers on them all to break at a couple of pounds instead of 10lbs.. the second one is the "purple paper eater", for the hell of it, I built the rifle, then the stock. When I finished the stock I thought it would be cool to have the rifle powder coated.

six - I thought about paintball guns for a while, but decided for the money I could buy a real firearm, and besides that paintball isn't real accurate, I like the idea of putting 10 bullets into one hole at 100 yards.. I do keep paintballs in my bag, set them up at 100 yrds on golf tees and shoot them, it's pretty fun, lol...
