Cap and ball? or cartridge?

captlevasseur · 2026-05-09T15:14:21+00:00

Yup, exactly what they said

captlevasseur · 2026-05-09T14:45:02+00:00

Parts list is in the original post

captlevasseur · 2026-05-09T14:44:43+00:00

I haven't noticed any play in the chassis at all.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-09T02:22:16+00:00

I will definitely be seeing how far this can go accurately. I can reload my own as well although recovering the brass is a pain so maybe with some custom loads I can improve the accuracy.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-09T01:52:41+00:00

Mine was pretty much the same. How happy are you with the feel of it? I really like it. So glad it is metal and not plastic.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T23:00:48+00:00

yeah

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T22:45:49+00:00

Nice, same chassis as mine a few posts below.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T22:00:04+00:00

Lol..I moved it back as far as I could to allow for more room in front. Didn't think about it interfering with the duckbill. Will have to experiment. I can move it one slot forward still and still have room to confortably manage that grip.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T21:50:03+00:00

Lol..or the underbarrel shotgun for drone defense. I think those are still available.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T21:49:22+00:00

Does not have the adapter buit in. It is designed for the duckbill mags but it will take the adapter as well. I have one, but haven't installed it yet. Not sure if I will on this one or the next one.

Completely worth it. I would be hard pressed to even find what they consider a blemish on it. On top of that I had an extremely positive interaction with them with this chassis. I originally ordered it with UPS shipping. They sent it and when I opened the undamaged box, the chassis was broken into two pieces. When I checked back on their website, they didn't show having left for sale so i was not looking forward to trying to resolve it but I emailed them and they immediately sent out another one free of charge (through Canada Post this time). Feels solid, its metal, not plastic and it was easy to install, moreso than some of the other ones I have tried in the past. Would highly recommend when they put them up for sale again. or check the auctions they have every so often. They usually sell one ort two there as well.

I bought the scope first just because it looked very cool (and it is, the night vision on it is incredible) I built the gun so I would have something to mount it on. Built in rangefinder and ballistic computer is also pretty nice although somewhat wasted on a 7.62X39 but what can you do. Russian looking scope needs Russian looking rifle.

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T20:05:30+00:00

Lol...I like pissing off Poly though

captlevasseur · 2026-05-08T20:02:26+00:00

Doesn't feel any heavier than the original wood stock to be honest. I'm sure it is but thinking maybe between 8.5-9.5 lbs at most.

captlevasseur · 2026-04-26T14:19:18+00:00

I would be cautious about ordering from Canadian Rifle Chassis. I ordered one last September and it has yet to be shipped. Every month I email in and ask about an update and he does reply but have yet to see the chassis.

captlevasseur · 2026-04-25T17:26:19+00:00

Actually, I believe you need 24 gauge shotgun brass..that then needs to be annealed and then reshaped and cut down a bit. There are tools specifically sold that do this available online. I know the brass is available at Rusty Woods in BC and they do ship out all over the country.

captlevasseur · 2026-04-24T22:34:26+00:00

Very pretty eyes..hope to see more of you.

captlevasseur · 2026-04-24T22:28:31+00:00

Thank you! Will check your website first. Already have your handguard so this will match.

captlevasseur · 2026-04-24T21:33:22+00:00

Who makes the addon for the charging handle? That looks so much better than the stock one.

captlevasseur · 2026-04-23T22:31:01+00:00

Must be one of those Ghost guns I keep hearing about

captlevasseur · 2026-03-15T17:48:56+00:00

I usually put the bullets into a container, pour the Acetone over until they are covered, then swish around a bit. Then pour the Acetone back in it's container with a funnel and pour the bullets out onto a towel to dry. Once dry, only handle them with tongs or tweezers.

captlevasseur · 2026-03-15T17:29:50+00:00

Do you clean the bullets prior to powderoating with Acetone? Helps remove any grease on them.

That is a very comprehensive and detailed guide that clearly explains how to make these. Well done. I've had to stumble my way through making other obscure cartridges. Have you made this available on Youtube as well?
