[QUOTE="David Urasky, post: 1896896, member: 108550"] The first gun I built from scratch was a 22-250 built on a Mossberg 3 lug action. I turned the contour on a McGowen blank, threaded and chambered it. I then bought a piece of 8 quarter birds eye maple for $15. Did all of the inletting and shaping of the stock in the bedroom of my apartment using hand tools, no power tools. Put a weaver T10 scope on it and found a load that shot 5 round groups with all holes touching at 100 yards. Loved the gun, sold it for $100. That was 35 years ago and I kick myself every time I think about it. Never should have let a divorce get to me and cause me to liquidate my toys. I still have the reamer and smile when I see it in my collection. [/QUOTE]
