Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Remington #1 Build.

1* - 30' (1 1/2 degrees)

This thread makes me wonder if I shouldn't have kept that Husqvarna roller, and had you work it over Greg.

Ah well the new owner is making grins with it now.

Barrel cut to length and crowned.

Other work done to fit the firing pin. Excuse my briefness as I can see what was done but would not try to explain it.

He "bushed" the firing pin. It's a good thing. Makes it a lot safer for you to shoot

I always enjoy watching Greg's work.

Ed

Me too. I am learning as this project progresses. Some may claim I am smart in some areas of knowledge. I always say I am a fountain of useless facts myself. I truly am at the bottom rung of the knowledge ladder when it comes to the type of work Greg is doing.

I truly do appreciate the small group of men that can do what he does.

Mack

Wishin' I knew a doc that could reconstruct my carcass as well.

Great project well done. Huzzzzzah!

Are you saying that you need to be reamed and a bushing installed????

Ed

No reaming, but a bushing or two might be helpful.

Well the stock finally arrived and I think it is a pretty nice chunk of wood. Still some work to go I am sure but things are progressing along.

Dat's nice wood - who did the stock?

Ordered the stock from Treebone.

"pretty nice"? That's a great looking piece of wood from here!

What front sight is Greg going to put on this work of art?

Ed

Ed,

I am not sure. He has discussed it with my dad though. Either one of them can chime in. It is going to be a hunting rig so I am sure something appropriate for the use.

Mack

The front sight is going to be fabricated by Greg,I feel confident it will be nice.

Now I see where Mack gets his mastery of understatement from.

Greg will put a work of art on it for you.

Ed

Ed,

After seeing the quality of Greg's work I am confident that whatever choice he would make would be outstanding. I am sure by the time this is complete this will turn out to be the finest firearm I will have the pleasure of handling let alone shooting.

As to understatement you just have not spoken to my father. I am sure Greg can chime in on that with some of the phone conversations they have had in this process. LOL

Mack

My mistake, , I didn't mean to insult anyone.

Ed

None takin.

Ed,

Everything I said was to be taken with a grain of salt. One thing my father passed onto me was the ability to yammer with the best of them. He has more dry one liners than just about any person I have ever met and is quite humorous in his own mind now if you ask my mother he is not as funny as he thinks he is.

So no insult taken as there was none to give.

Thanks for posting on this as I know Dad and I like to get the feedback from others that have more experience with the BPCR genre. Neither of us has anything like this project in our background. We have just taken advice from Greg and tried to look around to find examples of rifles that we like.

I know we would both like to make it somewhere to burn some powder with others who like to shoot the old boomers.
