What do you do when you inherit a MCM50 comp. bench rest rifle (and you just like to go out and "plink")? You machine a monster chassis compatible with a bipod / tripod.

More...Ended up getting a 50BMG rated G&G bipod. I have a new stock to install, alum instead of printed.

Sun's out, guns out. I made a bunch of billet pneumatic recoil stocks to replace my printed ones (makes a 50 Beowulf feel like a 223). Cerakoted the stock patriot blue, the chassis might be getting the same once I get tired of the powder chipping. Barrel, bolt, and action really needs blasted and re-coated. I hope my small oven is long enough for it, it would suck to fire up my 10x20ft oven for 1 part. The brake needs timing work as well.

Finally got to shoot it.

The tanker brake is vicious, huge concussion. It has me thinking about a different design with a 90deg first port then angled ports... I know it's always going boom but better is better right?
I think I had the bipod set out too far for my table , that old mark 4 scope has a super narrow eye relief.
But I got some trigger time.

Beautiful job.
It's obvious you're more than just a tinkerer.

Now when that fault line off of the coast splits open and Godzilla reappears, you'll be ready.
