Been a minute since I have posted over here. Thought I would show what happens when you have a Sunday where the weather sucks and you don't want to be outside.
Not like I don't spend enough time in the shop doing real work, I decided to do a fun project.
Nothing special, this is a blue collar build.
It started life many years ago as a Savage 111 270, I will add, it looked like it had been rode hard and put up wet!
It now wears a fresh custom machined 22" barrel chambered in 35 Whelen and nestled into an inexpensive MDT field chassis stock.
You will have to zoom in to see the profile and machining on the barrel. This flutting was an accident! I fat fingered the G code and forgot to tell the A axis to rotate, sometimes accidents turn out OK!!
