butchlambertMy Tin Can shooter. I was fortunate enough to buy one of the 2 prototype 24X scope that came out of Remington's custom Shop. Mine came from the estate of Mike Walker.

metalComing along very nicely Evan, to chop one from the blank is THE most satisfying feeling.
Really well done.

ZekeShikarThat's an awesome build and the wood's not half bad either!
It really makes sense to invest in or build a custom 22lr since they're cheap, fun and deadly to shoot!
Thanks for sharing your sweet project with us.

gasgunnerGreat job Evan!
If you have not yet done so, everyone needs to go over to Evans web site and look at the pictures he has posted of his work. Pay particular attention to his tools and the work area he has to work in. It is very refreshing to see a young man today who has what it takes to follow his passion and do whatever it takes to get the job done with what he has available to him. So rare this day and age to see a young man put down the electronic device and pick up a tool and go to work. I predict a bright future for our friend Evan K.
Best of luck to you,
John

LOL, I meant to say "they're cheap, fun and deadly to SHOOT". Oh wait, I did say that.
I never said it was a cheap build.

Dans40XCThe Louisville Slugger baseball bat bolt handle needs to be shortened about 3/4".
Install the LaPour/Kiff 3 position safety/firing pin correctly or you'll have a dangerous condition.
Stock work looks awesome.

Dan,
I'll get the bolt and 3pos safety off to you when Evan finishes with the stock.

Certainly not giving you a hard time, but a squared up receiver with a custom bolt from PT&G makes it more costly than most Remington clones.

Thank you very much John and everyone for the comments. Fortunately I just finished up work on a new workbench and got a big old bench vise so the next projects should go easier. I also need to thank all of the stockmakers and gunsmiths who are willing to share their information here and elsewhere, otherwise I wouldn't be making stocks too. There are too many to name but they are all appreciated. Finally, thanks to Butch for the opportunity to have this project.

fla3006Nice work and an equally nice report. I still have more fun with my 22s than all my other guns combined, when I can get ammo!
