Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Just got this back from the gunsmith today

When I picked it up off a fallow member it looked like this
The green goblin while actually nice to hold I couldn’t bear to look at it lol and it was single shot

Someone has put some money into it
Its a howa 1500 action fitted with a MAB barrel
The action has been modified to take a rem700 trigger
Which was quite the undertaking by the looks
They had to lengthen the slot slightly drill and tap for Retention screws mill pin slots
Then they had to modify the cocking peice on the bolt to remington profile (no longer cocks on a factory howa trigger)

Jewel trigger fitted

Work i had done to get it finished included modifying a bottom metal as the rem700 trigger is taller and was contacting

The rifle had a .311 neck chamber which required neck turner (can’t be bothered with that) so I sent it to Gunworks and had them put there sammi reamer down it just to chase out the neck
Come out awsome
We will see how it shoots but my gut says with a mab barrel and a jewel trigger it will go awsome
