[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 663781, member: 17844"] The media loves to exaggerate and ours is exactly the same . It was fairly bad and we did loose a lot of nice autos and slide actions but that was it. What the Government did was buy a lot of secondhand guns of all types from gunshops and dealers and threw them on the pile . I think the NRA was right about using it as an example of what can happen . The idiots here were paying big money for old worn out barrels and guns. The gun dealers were selling every old gun they had to the Government . You know mate I always wanted a lathe and a mill since I was a kid so I have studied books on machining all my life for the day when I could afford one . The same day I installed my lathe and mill I started machining threads and all , it all just came out and I knew what I had to do. I have made a few mistakes and broke a few tools over the years but nothing major . Now that I have made this one I feel better qualified to do a lighter more artistic shaped one that looks better but is still rigid and functional and I can carry around better . Mine will be mainly used at night with the NV scope on critters ( pigs , fox and wild dog ) waiting over baits and during the day at longer range ( 30-06 barrel ) from a fixed firing position ( sniping ) not far from the vehicle . I reckon once I get the 30-06 going good it will stay on the gun most of the time . Thanks a buch for appreciating the work that has gone into this rail . I think a lot of people don't believe I built the whole thing . I even swaged the bullets I use in it . [/QUOTE]
