   I was chasing some more strength from the carbon as there isn't much timber in the wrist area. So next I gave it a coat of epoxy to wet out whatever didn't get much soak-through. 251292 I was...

   Now onto the foregrip, which was more challenging even though it was much smaller. First I made a "pillar" so I got the distance between the forend iron and release catch right 251272 Then I...

   Next step was to mill a slot for the extractor and test fit it. 251216 That was all good so milled the old extractor off and tig'd this one in place. Also drilled and tapped the shotgun barrel...

   Thanks, I'm pretty impressed with it too. I did put a fair amount of effort into getting it right, it's not perfect but not too bad either

   Weight and balance, balance is pretty good. The balance point is right at the rear of the foregrip as most of they weight in those Baikals is in the action. The weight with the rail but no...

   Should be 200ish fps faster than a 22-250 all going well, practically a 7x57 case with a .22 projectile

   I ran out of time to do the firing pin this week, I put a very light chamfer the edge of the firing pin hole to see how it goes in the meantime. Hoping to sight it in tomorrow

    Final shaping of the forend and then it was time for carbon. I decided to go with a schnabel on the forend, I felt it was fitting with the style I was trying to achieve 251283 251284

    It's pretty rough round the action, more just to get an idea of the shape. Next step was to cut and shape some paulownia for the buttstock, it certainly works easier than the pine! 251261 251262...

    Here is a close up of the extractor, showing the spring loaded detent that extracts the case. It is held in place against the spring by a roll pin. 251233 Once this was all sorted the barrel...
