My Rifle?

[jimiowa]

There's another picture of me and my rifle a little further along at this site in the gunsmithing forum.

The Thread is titled Packdogs at Bookies and the picture is on the second page.
The picture is titled "Jim Dannels Rasps" not the best picture since Bookie bounced a lot of flash off my high forehead. ;D

Also in the thread DD was asking about younger shooters on.
I mentioned a young fellow in the club about 30ish.
There is a thread Titled Angus Whadda Chunk Gun.
Eric Leonard, nicknamed "Angus" is building a rifle with a 41 lb barrel. Worth checking out with pictures.
Angus is a big boy and can handle the rifle.
He is also a master machinist and quite talented.
In order to do this project on the spindle Shaper He made a special spindle(to resist runout) and cutter to fit Bookies Shaper.

Just about got blinded there from the Reflection Jim. ;D Just don't ask me about my halo. ;D
That chunk gun is awsome to say the least. Last guy I helped build a gun was building a chunk gun. Ended up with a gun that weighed no where near as much as that one but he was shooting the national's with it and shooting basically the same load I do with my .58 and smoking them. Those chunk guys get a bit serious. ;D

They sure do Bill! I'm the only one of the guys here that does not have a purpose built Chunk Gun. I'll shoot my Tennesee at the August shoot here. Most of the guys around here are shooting guns between 12 & 20 lbs. That Monster of Erics would wear me out carrying it from the loading bench to the firing line.
Eric placed somewhere around 50-55 at the York Shoot this year and he's looking for and edge.

EDGE

I thought it was a hernia.

Well he's young, strong as a bull and nearly as big?
Hernia on the otherhand could apply to me with a chunk like that.
