So I've been building a new Sniper rifle.....

[Poison123]

And here's how the vendor who built the action/barrel ****ed me :/

Mis-timed break.
Bad job on the milling of the barrel.
What looks like Rust on the bolt.
And the ****ing recoil lug doesn't fit.

Sigh...

How about a picture of the gun? Doesnt need to be HUGE though...

[Poison123]

I can't mount the action in the stock. The recoil lug doesn't fit in the stock, despite me telling them the exact dimensions/type of stock I was using for the build :/


More or less this is what it would have looked like

[Motormouth]

that barrel looks short

That sucks. Hope they set it right. I have a pretty short list of smiths to work on and build a boom stick.

[Poison123]

Its supposed to be short Motormouth. Its only 18".

stu, I honestly doubt I'm going to let them fix it. I'm going to a straight refund, I needed this for a competition in a couple of weeks :/ Looks like I might be shooting the sniper competition with my 16" AR...and I'm going to need to get creative with some ammo for it.

Damn... good luck

build a real sniper rifle.....

That would be a complete nightmare to use in a real sniper competition. That looks more like something in a F-Class.

Kinda reminds me of the movie "Red Dawn", with Patrick Swayze, R.I.P.
