Be bloody funny testing these projects......you will have to pay your neighbours to set up the targets and not lie about the scores

I test all my projects on things I can eat !

Well, plenty of work to go on the walnut stock for my Anschutz (from the blank), and before I do final shaping I want to recontour the tang of the receiver. Replacement trigger blade and bolt knob to make too. Probably make a proper recoil pad grinding jig also. If I get to the end of that I've got 3 Emcostar wood work centers to strip and combine into 2 good ones. But given that my job is going to carry on through even if working from home, and there's kids to keep entertained as well, I doubt I'll make that much extra progress.

Keep us posted on your progress with the stock (photos etc)

Am going to build one for my CZ 223 as soon as I can find a nice piece of walnut.

I've got a bipod to finish off and a few rifles sitting in the safe that just need a rebluet but always on the lookout for a project

I have a few years worth of gun projects on the book
But i suspect I might rip through them this winter

Fitted and tested a 209 primer conversion nipple on my muzzleloader to get it ready for the roar and winter hunting.
Better spark for cold winter tahr hunts

Fitted an extractor and started a safety tumbler for the Hollis martini 500 express

Finally put all the parts back into my 1885 22K hornet and zeroed the scope.
I had burgled all the springs to copy and cook 2 sets for my other 1885 project

Mounted a 6x Malcolm scope on my Stevens 44 1/2 today.
Went to fit the new firing pin I got from USA and found that because the breech block was bushed it's the wrong size
So that was a fail

Might finally get back on to my double rifle build

Have @Tentman s 44 1/2 to try and get shooting

Waiting for jacketed projectiles to sort my fussy 375 Winchester that doesn't like cast bullets

And that's just the last week !

Have I stick to finish
Two stocks to make from scratch
And what ever other projects come along as well

Happiness is a well stocked workshop

where did you get the primer adapter

Decided to rip apart my winchester 375 and give a hell of a clean and make over

@Martin358 Its from USA Mag-spark from Warren Industries

But I think Neil Hayes has a few different models available that could be modified is the tread you want isn't in stock

Actually now that I have one it would be relatively easy to replicate
I brought a spare top cap because it would be easy to loose i the field when the adrenalin is flowing for a follow up shot
It's bloody simple

I mainly intend using it for winter hunting because I had a few slow ignitions when I was tahr shooting last winter
It would also be useful for using up the 777 I brought to try out and found it wasn't the greatest with normal ignition caps

if I had a workshop similar to yours id do a lot more that's for sure. Don't have access to the metal working gear since I left the last job. makes doing some of the things I can do pretty hard.
Got some minor action to stock fitting for one of the P14 projects (ex 308 target rifle, probably going to be a 300 win mag one day), and some tweaking to the other P14 303 to see if that shoots better.
Some stock work on the SxS shottie to try to make something a little better than a sows ear.
Some rebedding on the 25-303 and got a handful of rounds to see if that shoots any good before I start reloading for that otherwise it will turn into a 264 win mag-cant do that bit.
Maybe some playing around with the lee speed project but fitting express sights I cant do. need to shoot that first and see how that barrel goes
