It all starts from a simple part....
ctracingraptor replied to ctracingraptor's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Im happy to be able to finally share a build like this, lots of custom bolt guns that have turned out very nice, figured Id change it up a bit and share something different. I like that you can build one fairly simple, with almost no special tools. Got most of chassis put together, still waiting on my trigger, might just drop a extra one I have in for looks. -

Father in law and I were discussing the usual gun and hunting conversations over the 4th, he's been dying to have a gun made in a specific caliber for a specific use. Im a fan of the caliber he wants, I used to even have one, but have since moved on to different calibers. I tried to convince him to try a different caliber, but he wouldnt budge. A man wants what a man wants, I get it. Lol. Stubborn as he may be I told him I would build him exactly what he is wanting. More to come on Monday when more parts show up. -

Thanks, seems like it takes forever for stuff to arrive, when your anxiously waiting for it. Barrel is going to take the longest, just need my trigger to show up so I can assemble the lower -

I had a 204, it's a wicked little round, pounded quite a few yotes with it, exploded a few rabbits and p-dogs with it as well. I've since then got rid of it, and switched to a Grendel, not because it's better, but the Grendel serves a larger spectrum for hunting. -

Hes stubborn, Easiest way to explain, he's a man of few calibers, the way he explained it to me was he didnt want a bunch of different calibers in his safe, he has a 204 in a bolt gun, for 10 years hes been wanting one in a AR. As we know there are lots of excellent other choices , some very impressive new rounds came available with the last few years. Hes a man of speed I guess, only a few come close to what a 204 pushes. Im not saying there arent fastest rounds, or even better choices for ballistics. He doesnt reload anymore, and will be using shelf ammo, and he has a lot of shelf ammo lying around... -

Yes, 204 ruger. I'm about month out on the barrel, should be fun to see a 204 with a can. -

The 762 is a sweet round in that platform. The 9mm is really fun with a bump stock, I have a 10mm pistol and I can't see the use for it in a AR platform. This build won't be pistol caliber. Sorry for the crappy pic, 223 on a 75gn reload on the left, his caliber on the right -

I’ve got my tickets, this should be interesting -
The fire is in 5a, but can easily jump the 87 into 5BS, my family’s cabin is within a 100 yards on stargazer dr, and if jumps the 87 it will be all over
