Rainy day projects.

Carl gustaf rolling block.. decided I needed a 22 hornet, but loved the matching barrel with swedish proofs. So reamed out the barrel, turned a 22 cal blank to be press fit, got it pushed together with some solder then welded the seams and turned them flush. Went out an picked some nice looking walnut an fired up the duplicator. Got barrel chambered an extractor made , stock fitted an contoured. Still got lots of sanding left an a little more contouring to meet receiver lines. But that's for another day. This is far enough for one day.

Very nice. Let us know how it shoots.

Allways liked the, "K-Hornet" . I did mine on a small Martini receiver and a .22 target barrel. I used an Enfield butt stock and a custom forearm, then topped it off with a V-22 scope.

Sure miss that rifle, but there was a time when a new house and baby were more important. :s0092:

If it don't shoot it's getting the K reamer. That always helps.

I'm still working on a forearm for that 9mm muzzle loader for my Grandson. No hurry,
just pecking away. Probably use some more of that bent strut off of my boat to cap the forearm. Fitting a drum and nipple wiill be a real trick.

Awesome!
Been toying around with the idea of picking one of those up myself...

That's slick. I thought I had a Martini cadet that had been converted to .223 once long ago. But when I met up with potential seller , he decided that he wasn't ready to let it go yet.

Got it blued now . Test fire went good. Unfortunately a chip left a mark in the neck shoulder area so a K hornet it will probably become.

22 hornet is one of my favorites! I have taken a lot of coyotes with one. I still have my Topper from the 1970's But the Rolling Block is just Cool! DR
