Well I completed my ongoing project today. It started out as a yugo 24/47. Dont worry purists, it was a parts rifle with a cracked stock and none of the numbers matched, and generally beat to hell and back. If anything I saved it. I was going for the pseudo sniper look, and I think it came out good. What do you think? Tutorial with parts list coming later........

 

 

 

Here is what was done.

Re-barreled with new unissued barrel from Numrich.

Fully glass bed

Polished and stoned the trigger

Sent the bolt out to get bent(I know my limitations)

Repaired multiple cracks in the stock

Drilled and tapped for scope mounts

Installed a vintage weaver kv scope

Eric, that is just pure sex buddy. You amaze me with every picture you post man. I got a lot to learn from you. Whenever I get that ex-sniper from richie, you will have to check it out and tell me what to do.

Very nice

good stuff nice work.

Nice...

You did the glass bedding yourself?

For a minute there....whenever I hear about a new creation...I think about Bubba.

That there is a gem. Good work.

You did the glass bedding yourself?

Yeah I only did the receiver right now. I am going to shoot it a little now when the barrel is free floated, if I don't get the results I am looking for I may just do the whole barrel. Glass bedding is really simple, just a little time consuming. The hardest part is waiting for the compound to harden.

What did you use?

I have seen others use epoxy to bed their surplus rifles.

I used acraglas on this one, but on my mosins I have used JB weld with great results. My PU has had the jb treatment and it shrunk my groups by about 2". It was done about 2 years ago, and the JB shows no sign of cracking or warping.

That is really nice !

Lookin good!!! I still gotsta git me onenna those!

How much?

i have about $150.00 in it total. only paid $6.00 for the scope on ebay, $10.00 for the mounts, ect... a true project on the cheap!

I meant how much to buy it from you

I meant how much to buy it from you

Actually it is already spoken for. Once I play with it for a little bit it is destined to be my little nephew's new deer rifle. But never fear, I am already planning on building another.

For rifle repairs and applications, that JB weld is awesome. I would'nt worry about cracks.
