Building a new mass/inertia/momentum project and
thought I would pass a few pic's along...

To borrow a word from my teen-aged daughter's vocabulary, *sparkly!*

Nice colors. Good fiberglass work (believe me, I've seen a lot of BAD
fiberglass).
Thanx guy... every kids gota have a hobby...
The right hand grip looks interesting - is it custom to you own hands? I
have short index fingers, so I shoot with my middle finger on the
trigger -
straighter pull, anyway.
What I can't quite make out from the pix is whether the barrel lines up
with
the shoulder pad. It is my understanding that such an alignment reduces
muzzle climb, facilitating repeatability (precision) of targeting. From
what I can see, it looks pretty close.
I anwsered in this thread and I hate retyping....

My NRA .22 shooter friend has been on a touring vacation, (he's also a
Good
Sam) but I expect him back soon. He should tell me about his rifle, and
I'll pass that along to you as promised.
Would love to get some details Tom.. Thanx...
This one is illegal for competition as it is
too wide ( damn rules ) but I just built it as fun
shooter and for therapy for my hands....
Also on this gun I designed my own way for trigger
over travel adjustment and hand honed all action mating
surfaces, tightened up the front bolt section with a .000015
shim and cut my own sear from 440c stainless then heat
treated it in the garage, cut 2.3 coils from the trigger spring
to give a 7 oz no creep trigger pull..
The scope is a BSA 8~32 X 50mm scope using a set of
engraved rings to mount it up...
