My Other Hobby!

Post by ford4x4fun »

Well, I have kinda been slacking on my truck build lately really because I helped a buddy change a motor in an 03 Trailblazer, and to be honest I don't feel like turning wrenches at the moment. So I have started working on some other things. I should have taken before and after pictures but I haven't.

Anyhow this is what I have been working on.

This is my sons Ruger 10/22 with Arch Angel Stock that I built him for Christmas. It has got a red dot site and extended mags. He is a really good shooter, and we built this specifically for doing run and gun competitions. I also installed an extended magazine release. The bayonet is just for looks, and assists with the rifle is in the gun safe!

This is my toy. It is a Romanian AK-47 and was pretty plain when I got it. I used an ebony stain and polyurethane to get the stock to look like something. Not all of the parts have come in yet, but I got a side mount picatinny rail system with a red dot sight, and a muzzle brake. I got the butte pad to extend the stock. I could have saved a lot of time, and bought an aftermarket stock, but I believe this is truly custom now. I am wanting to take both of these to the range and site them in this upcoming weekend, so hopefully all the other parts come in for them.

This last one is my Marlin 22. When I got it, it was a rusted mess and probably hadn't been cleaned in 15 years. The stock was scratched real bad like it had been behind the seat of a truck forever. This is my second attempt at cleaning it up, I had to many flaws for my liking the first round on it.

Nice looking guns! I never cared much for the Archangel stock, but they are interesting. Love the AK.

Ha ha I know on the government thing :thup:

I wasn't to sure about the archangel stock either, but I after I put it on, I have to admit that I am pretty impressed with how sturdy and well built it is. Of course the true test will see how it holds up to being run through a bunch of drills and such. So far I am impressed with it.
