Two New Future Benchrest Gunsmiths!!!!

[speedygonzalez]

Two rifles my students Adam Rehor & Jacob Couie built in a week and half for their interview with McMillan Stocks tomorrow after the Cactus Classic.

Ryan McMillan Donated the EDGE stocks to Adam and Jacob.
Adam & Jacob fit and chambered the barrels.
Spyder webbed the barrels.
Filled miss matched bolt handle cuts and loading port and re-jellcoated the stock to match original colors.
Cut cooling ports.
Made weight systemed butt plates by hand from 1/4 aluminum stock and hand fit with with files.
Bedded and glued the stocks.
Blueprinted the actions to my specs.
Blueprinted the Jewel triggers to work at .5 oz.
Polished the actions and rings.
Lapped & bedded the rings.
Installed the carbon fiber stock tape.

I just wanted to show that all of todays youth are not lazy jack-asses, some are still capable of amazing us with desire, enthusiasm and great work ethic. This makes teaching rewarding.

It is good to see that we still have a bright future in our youth!
