![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/Savage345/TGRS.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/Savage345/TGRSCU.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/Savage345/TGTop.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/Savage345/TGLS.jpg) 788 Remington .308 Tube gun. Above is the current project. I started with a 788 Remington and have made everything from there on. The receiver tube and handguard were line bored which is a bit different then you would usually think. The bottom metal has an AR15 grip and houses the trigger and clip. The clip is interesting, it was a factory 3 round clip that I extended out to 5 rounds by making the lower housing and a new follower spring. I have been shooting it and working up a load. At present is 41 gr of RL 15 pushing a 168 SMK out of LC Match brass. Can cover 3 rounds at 100 with a nickle which I am quite pleased with. I built the gun for no particlar reason but will take it shooting P Dogs later this Summer.

Wow, Lynn! Truly a masterpiece. I'll bet 'til your done it'll shoot even closer than that.
Reminds me of the antithesis of what a wise guy told me once. "It just goes to show that once again ignorance and a big hammer overcame skill and engineering."
I'll second Saddlering's question: what's next? Inquiring minds want to know!
