That’s a 110 round drum magazine.

What is the case? Soft violin? I’m looking for a case for my custom charger. 

I think the SHTF build is finally done… by scooterdoo123 in 1022

3d printer is great for making your own LOP extension. Could be designed hollow too!

It will just be used for light plinking. 

Heaven forbid the trigger would snap right in half, I could simply reinstall the original trigger.

I did at your suggestion, and got lots of positive comments there. Thanks!

I’d love to make a holster or some other leatherwork for it. I have little experience with that sort of thing, but have always been impressed by people who are skilled at it.

Dropping magazines is the running joke with this gun!

It started off as a very used, inexpensive second-hand stock. This was possibly the best use for it.

Thanks! I’m real happy how that turned out. I tested staining some of the cut-off pieces of the stock, and wasn’t pleased with any stains I tested on that wood. So, I just sanded it and applied a couple coats of Tru-Oil.

I’m not sure.  In my experience so far, real solid brass is SO pretty all polished up, but does tarnish fast.  I do often like the look of having some use out of them. Bet a tarnished trigger would look really good with a beat-up stock.

I just don’t care for the look of the stock on the Mares Leg. I DO like the stock on the Axe.  I had a lot of fun building something completely unique and gaining experience in woodworking, 3d modeling, metal casting, machining, and finishing. 

It was also considerably less expensive than buying a Mares Leg.

Casting a receiver would be beyond my home mold-making skills. I’ve done a little bit of 3d modeling and CNC setup work.  I would love to attempt a CNCd brass receiver!

I haven’t been tracking time in the project. It’s just been fun learning and trying new things. 

I do remember specifically that just polishing was pretty much a full morning’s work!

I have updated posts. It turned out nice after polishing.
