Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I took these last afternoon...I have the fat ol tang inletted now, bent to profile, and will file it to wrist shape~ leaving a small 'hump' behind the tang as I think it looks right on these beastie rifles.... :ow:
There will be a 'step wrist' on her, and I have yet to visualize, but have cut it in, and am currently working the TG into the stock, at the SAME TIME working the trigger and plate in~
I want thank Ken Moor and Allen martin for helping with this rifle, it's a work in progress......and i am over my head with it!.....I would NOT recommend a Swiss/Christian Spring/Moravain rifle as 1st rifle to build......I want to 'run home to momma' and go back to the SMR's........but I have started it, and will try to finish it............................... :kap: :crzy:
