Today's schedule

[butchlambert]

2 rest tops to build and ship, order parts for another hundred, pick up bearings at the bearing supply, prep parts and assemble my "EL COYOTE" rifle. The "EL COYOTE" rifle is a 222Remington Magnum Ackley Improved. It is built on a Stiller clone receiver, Shilen SS match barrel, a Shilen trigger, a 3 pos safety, and an H&S stock. I was going to put the metal work in the beautiful walnut stock blank from Dave Tooley, profiled by JGHOGHUNTER, finished by JoshB, and being checkered by a very talented young man at our local gunsmithing school. My 16 yr old Great Grand Daughter wanted a bolt rifle to go with her mini 14. Yes, you know the rest of the story. It will be just like mine but in CM so it can be rust blued and fit to the Tooley wood. It will be a 7 twist to be able to shoot the 69 and 77 grain bullets that Nez Rongero located for her. A local friend has the stock that was donated to me to build a 30BR that will be available to new shooters in our club. Jeff Crose was the generous person. 150 rounds of brass was done by DJSBRS.
I better get started!

I know the feeling , Butch . Who has time to be sick or injured when there is so much to do ! And I only have 450 rounds of Match Brass to process . Clean two rifles , and load 75 rounds for a upcoming Club Match this weekend . And I'm only recovering from a fractured hip they put a six-inch screw in three months ago .
