Very, very nice!

Can I come to the garage sale and bid on the "old rusty parts!" :)

Very nice sounding build.
Three quick questions?
1) Why make a rifle out of an XP100?
2) What is that suppressor from?
3) How far out will that thing reach?

Thank you
To respond to your questions:
1) The XP is a very sturdy action with a solid action floor (strange term) making it very suitable for long range repeatability. Plus I didn't have all the parts to make it back into a pistol.
2) No clue what the suppresser came off of. It was just in a barrel of old parts.
maybe sniper or another gun aficionado will know.
3) Who knows? hoping for a 1" @ 220 meters.

That suppressor looks like something on one of my room mates spoons... But that narrows it down not a whole lot... He's got way too many spoons...

Hmmmm....think you must have me confused with someone else.

No problem...I switch back and forth between MSNBC AND FOX to see what pablum is being fed to both extremes;)

Back to the original thread...that stock must have been one pricey item in its day.

Thats a bunch-o-shells, you load your own as well?

My memory sucks so you could be right. I was joking either way.
My thoughts on the stock are the same.

I haven't reloaded anything in 30+ years. That's why it all has to go.

It looks like a mini-14 aftermarket flash suppressor.

Was anyone making a mini-14 aftermarket flash suppresser back in the 80s ? Remember this project was build using only items from my garage (parts on hand) and nothing was purchased after 1985.
I defer to your expertise in the "tactical spoon" realm but I was thinking it was military surplus.

Yes, that model flash suppressor has been around since at least 1987, when i bought one for my first mini 14. If i could see the top side of the suppressor i could tell you for sure. :)

Here's one that's quite similar.

PS: Nice spoon!

I WISH I had that kinda rusty crap hangin' round my place. Nice!

Here's the other "not so rusty" stuff hanging around in my other garage.
