Having the original barrel makes this project real easy. All I did was transfer the slots, holes and notches to the wooden barrel after I cut and rounded over the edges. Also I'm going to add between 6''-8'' to the barrel for a longer band pull.

As you can see from the pictures the stock is goin to be three laminates of mahogany (I really like the look of it plus I got it for free) epoxied using G-FLEX. I'm not going to get into to building details especially since I didn't take a lot of pictures and the stock it's almost done by now. More to come tomorrow..............

Some time ago I got a very good (actually very very good) deal on a riffe metaltech 2xs. After trying the gun it kinda felt a little heavy and short for my liking (the thing sinks like a rock even without the shaft) so i decided to make a wood barrel for it and use the components from the gun. After talking about it with Dan when I visited Florida in march he told me not to do it and try and sell the gun. I tried to sell it locally for $200 and since nobody wanted it I said the hell with it. Sorry Dan!
Now you get to see how a perfect metaltech gets turned into a woodtech.......

Bienvenido! Glad to have you here.:)

Don't feel bad. I sold mine because some guy offered $150 for it and I was thinking that I could buy another but never did. That chinese rifle you could buy online for$35 a few years ago! I don't know if you could still do or if they even make it.

I bought one at a "Spy shop" here for 199 $ and it kills iguanas very well. Its from China....
Marco I had the same rifle from the ''spy shop'' a few years ago and they use to sell it for $80. They shot hard and the best thing is that they can be rebuilt for $18.

Welcome rman!:)

I never adjust the quantity (of hardener), that's a big no-no. It's calling for uncured epoxy. Always mix in the correct ratio. Use the correct curing time depending on the job at hand or mix smaller batches if possible.
