New Heavy Gun

Post by justjeff »

It's just about done, at last. Just in time to tune it for Narromine. Bat 10 x 2, 2" Maddco 12 twist 30 cal, Jewel 1.5oz, with the usual 10 - 42 NF, only ways just over 70lb. All I need to do is bend up a trigger guard and run it in. The get Al N to give it a coat of 2 pac.

:shock: That is certainly some weight involved there. He He, could just see someone lugging that one around a paddock chasing rabbits. :D

Is it really concrete, I would have thought it would need to be solid steel to be that heavy.

dg for a rattle pack I can get just about any color............ Sorry just re-read Jeff's post and see he mentioned two pack so probably just black :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Camel and Branx not concrete, granite that never made it to the kitchen and that big scope makes it heavy too :wink: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Granite , that's nuts I suppose its inletted and bedded into a big wad of devcon or something similar? Could be a market for old railway sleepers as heavy gun stocks

Granite? Could a monumental mason polish the granite? That would be awesome!
