Decided to try a scratchbuild Butt,I have limited tools and when I moved into my home,I inherited a very old lathe left by the previous owner.
After trawling all the build threads on this forum,I found some drawings of the butt assembly and decided to use them and some photos as a guide.
After a lot of trial and error,Bruises and scratches,I managed to assemble my Butt,Just needs finishing,When I find the right bolts and rivets.
Sadly had camera problems,So lost some photos of the build.
Sorry about size of some photos have trouble resizing.
First part is the hinge bar that locates on the receiver,Managed to turn this from a steel bar and used a holesaw on the drill to cut the profile of the receiver.
would like to make the stock movable so decided to make an attempt,I found some aluminium tube and a steel rod that fits into the alu tube,Used a small M4 bolt with the head cut off,And made the hook from a small piece of aluminium bar,Drilled and tapped then filed to shape.
Main frame took four attempts to get right,Folded using a large mallet,Block of wood and a vice,The butt stock was made in the same manner,But I managed to get my local engineering firm to Tig weld it up for me.
