Firearm projects for the coming year

For me
Since it looks like I'll be keeping it, I'll need a new scope for the 223, something reliably dialable to 500meters and back, not too heavy and with a Mil hash type reticle,not mildot, eg Mil-R or similar,and Milrad clicks possible second hand as I wish to keep price under 1k NZ, ha.

Next there will probably be a 6.5 06 going on , Remington action, The scope for that is sorted and in a box here, the only decision left is to AI it or not.

Lastly, I need to get my licence renewed, it's due early April and best be something done about it now

What do you folk have planned for 2017.

my 2017 toy $ will mostly be going on a new moterbike but my 338 lapua mag will soak up any $ that make it into guns. My colecting budget is separate and I hope to have bit in it due to impending sales of double ups etc-so it really depends on what comes up

So many things wanted, starting with a semi auto shotgun for 3 gun. So much financial control over expenditure exercised by the secretary of finance. Thinking of selling my grand kids into the slave trade. Ha ha ha ha

There's a "just for fun but it might be awesome" short barrelled 270 T3 on the horizon, plus a super light bushpig based on a model 7 using a wildcat composites stock to come also, got the stock just need the actual barrel and action to get the ball rolling!

So that gets you through to February Ryan. Then what? I am asking only because I need to live vicariously through others these days. Ha ha ha ha

Hmmm, sell the .22 mag I have then look to get either an action or complete Ruger 10/22 WMR and build it to what I want, for that matter any advise on importing from the US would be good, think there may be a visit to Firearms Officer to discuss further...

My 1st pistol so I can shoot 3 gun ,more likely a cz or glock also another ar from digit at some stage ,

Hi Doubleshot mate your arms officer wouldn't have a clue about importing firearm related stuff. Its outside their job description its customs who control the boarder. And in most cases they don't care as long as they can charge. Gst and duty. The impediment to getting stuff from the USA is the State department. If you try and get stuff without an export permit you will loose it at the boarder. Firearms related stuff is controlled by a thing called ITAR. If its on the list its a no go. Even some scopes are controlled if they are deemed military or have the word tactical in their description. Sorry for the downer but its the world post 9/11 we live in

I wanted to build a M40A5, but will no doubt will spend the year sourcing parts, found most, but need to work out action and barrel, and where to get the McMillan stock from...

So to keep it simple will start with a Mk11 copy using the NEA25 as a basis when they come in...
At least with this one, I will start buying the bits from Monday... :)

Cheers mate, didn't really think it'd be easy... will have to talk to some friendly folk I know or hope someone offers me one...lol

I'm just hoping that come the end of 2017 I would have saved enough $$$ to add this beauty to my collection. :P

Have a good one and spend wisely :thumbsup:

Cheers
Pete

To try and get my 270 shooting where I point it again. It's days are numbered.New T3 on its way I think. Haven't got time to faff around trying and hoping........or the know how or patience

Think im going to pass on the gun spending in 2017 and get my toy back on the road, Next is probably a motorcycle.

Did you see the prices digit had on Facebook for Ar15? Nearly got me in trouble again

Planning on getting my first AR, saw a kit for $999 on tradme and had to resist that,

I have a stug Carbon stock on order for my R93, due in the new year, if I can find a donor barrel for it I'd like to join the short barrel 284 crowd but that's a long term project. I also have another stock on order to lighten up my Winchester due mid year.

Always on the look out for a tidy Winchester 94 in 30/30

I've got a Stug stock in short Sako, a Sako Vixen action & I cant decide what to make from it. Have one already in 223 & 6x45....was thinking maybe 6.5 Grendel.
Also need/want a short bushpig of some sort, prob 6.5 too. So two plans for 2017 [emoji106]

Finish up my 10/22 project then get on to making a left handed stock to fit a right hand action cz455 heavy varmint barrel 22 but a thin 17hmr barrel so have to decide at some point which I'll channel the stock for

Get happy with what I've got!:thumbsup: tidy it up and be happy shooting them:thumbsup:

I want a bigger gun!! but in reality most probably buy nothing as I dont NEED a bigger gun in all reality

Making a Glock standard gun, no idea why really, will be fun, teach me to only hit A's and cheaper to run than the 40

.223 bolt action for me as I work towards needing a new safe.

Preferably with a fast twist rate so I can sling the heavier lead.

Anybody out there thinking of moving one on??

Something in 300 winmag and then a bayonet friendly brake for the cunty Mauser. Maybe a 30/30 since I have some of that ammo I can't seem to move on.

Sell a couple of Mini-14's and a Mini-30 (all e-cat), maybe sell the SLR and the SKK (e-cats), sell the CZ .22Mag, then complete the 6.5 Creedmore build, suppress the Marlin Camp 9, and look for something in .44 mag.

For me it will be a new caliber to learn from, develop and enjoy hearing it go bang. At present I am enjoying trimming the safe a bit. it has been a succesful excercise and helped fund me into other things.

I want to start gathering parts for a 375 build, All I've got is the scope and rings at the moment.

No idea what I want to build it out of, I think the build will take me a few years.

Chop my 308 stick a can on the end and then go hunting lots

I suggest gun parts as car parts or plumbing parts would probably be a bit dodgy.

Make a cannon out of a bofors barrel offcut thats been sitting around

Get my MDT chassis for my Rem mag after I finish my lever gun project
