My Contender Long Gun

Yeah, that's how it always is, time vs how much you want to spend.

If you just do a run of them all at once it's not too terrible. Cut the bar stock, mill the slots, drill the holes all one after another with the same stops, etc. Then you just go grab one out of the bag next time you want it.

There are lots more complicated things to make for firearms.

On my spread ...Coyotes are in season 24-7........all the rest of the critters are safe!!! unless a Badger comes in plane view!!! I have a perfect yard for shooting!! I can get 220yds to my SouthWest and I can pick up to 450yds to my south!! Beyond this I have to go to the range!! and thats about 7 miles
to my North LoL !!!

I'm really liking this contender and I will check into the folding stock!!! This chamber is what I'm going to copy and change it to a 32-20 for my 30-30 barrel


Ol Deuce

I found a 30 carbine die that will do perfect for doing my 32-20 brass to make 30-20 .......this is going to be a fun project I'll
keep ya posted !!!
