It’s not my fault. It just happened

Post by kickinback »

I bought a barrel. It was just too cheap to walk past.

I bought some dies that were on special at the VRA shop

I bought a reamer that was in the clearance section at PTG.

I bought 2 boxes of lap brass that Procal had on sale

I had JAG make me this stock from a $55 blank I got from Boyd’s when the $was good.

Bought a second hand howa.

Threw it all together and ended up with this.

22x47lap in a howa SA with a Bartlein 1-8 #9hv resting in one of Ned Kelly’s stocks.

A bit of pillaring and a scope and we are off to the range.

Oh, and I picked up 500 22cal 75gr amaxs for $33/100.
