Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats What are you building in 2015...

A little late with the thread this year...

#1 will be a Montana rebarrel in 260 with a Lilja 84M barrel.

#2 will be a 6x47 on an SPS with a Lilja #1 in a Ti stock.

Rebored CLR in 30-06 to 9.3x62.

Probably a 700 in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Already completed in 2015

Heavy barreled 6x47 Lapua for a range rifle
17 Fireball colony rifle

To be completed

20 Vartarg colony rifle (Parts are at Jon Beanlands)
223 Heavy barrel range rifle (waiting on actions)
6.5x47 Lapua Heavy barrel range rifle (waiting on action)

I got my McWhorter 7mm STW a week ago and am still working on:

223AI with help from Big Stick, Pac-nor, Sucks action, McMillan Rem Sporter

6.5x47 Lapua Stiller action, Bartlien, McMillan Rem Sporter

Colt CLR with Mullerworks 1-8" FW contour 6.5-06AI with MPI mountain rifle stock.

M700 with Brux 1-7.5" Rem varmint contour in 243AI with HS stock.

Stiller TAC338 with Mullerworks 1-9.3" cut rifled 4 groove modified lands Light Palma contour in 338 Edge with Micky sporter stock.

Nada. Rather, will be selling off to help fund a certain seven liter...

Building this year? Nuthin...

Just adding new spare parts to old spare parts. Dropped off a M70 Classic to replace the factory tube with a Brux 9 twist and the whole mess is in a Borden Rimrock. 7 rem mag and do the action truing. Hardly a "custom" but I bet it shoots.

May get an Echols Legend for a 375 H&H that's sitting here. Again not a custom,just a melding of parts.

House.

W

Mashburn in 7mm. Seen the cost of that one and decided to sell my other action.

I think my wood stocked 30-06 will be done this year.

Metal work is all done. Wood blank and barreled action in the hands of the stock maker.

All it needs is the stock and bluing. And some Talley Signature bases, screw lock or fixed rings, and a Leupold 6x42. Probably Heavy Duplex, but an LRD still a possibility.

Got one in the hopper currently. Sneak peak of the components...



Cartridge on the left is what will be coming out of it...

Remington #1 Rolling Block Sporter, an original pistol grip action.
Finished touching up the polishing and sent it off to Turnbull for case hardening and bluing. Wood is fiddle back California Claro in the original Creedemor pattern, Turnbull is doing the checkering also.

40-65, paper patch only, chamber reamer by the late Dan Theodore.

I've got Eddie Fosnaugh building me two this year. A 7 Rem. Mag. and another 6.5x47 Lapua.

Some guy named Penrod is gonna try to make a wore out ole truck gun hit somethin' for me.

Started in 2014 on a LH mini Mauser in 17 Remington. Barreled by Pacnor. I have a nice semi inletted stock for it. Hope to get to it this year. Also have a Greener Martini action and a 12 bore rifled barrel that needs to be put together.

Sending a pair of Ruger Bisleys, a 357 and a 41, out to be shortened to 5.5 inches and have patridge style front sights installed.

My guns are all ready. Of course some interesting one may turn up.

I still shoot the M70 I ordered new in 1957!

Here is a 257 magnum that's getting attention now at the range.

Got in on the Defiance group buy so I'll have a Deviant Hunter short action in about 4 months. Have a Jewell trigger, a Benchmark stainless fluted Rem varmint contour 8.5 twist barrel and an A5 Edge stock ready to go. Wyatts extended center feed mag box and PTG floorplate will be coming. Everything will go to GAP to be turned into a 6.5 SAUM. Should come in a little under 10 lbs scoped.

.30-338 Lapua?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

I currently have a FN Model 70 coyote light 22-250 that is going to get the barrel pulled and replaced with a #2 Brux 1-8" barrel chambered in 22-250 AI and finished at 23" or 24" with a EDGE stock. No more 1-14" for me. Also plan on doing a M40 clone this year as well.
