We eagerly await the results.
I plan to make a stock soon, it will be a folding wire job but I may have to machine the hinge part.

Lol From things I've built in the past and what I feel I can achieve I have a feeling it will turn out really well I've said to others before I can build almost anything especially if I have all the right tools

Have you sourced material yet?
I have thought about this a fair bit and I was thinking along the lines of getting the rough shape water jet cut out of plate.
You can get ally plate cut up to about 80mm thick by this process.

Paranoia Havnt sourced as yet I have been a little busy Water jet cutting sounds interesting Its a wonderful process. You dont get as messy of an edge as you get with plasma cutting and it doesnt mess with the annealing of the metal. Do a bit of youtubing on the subject. Will blow your mind. I get a lot of rings cut to use on the lathe as ally hollow bar is near impossible to find in australia, particularly in any decent grades, plate is everywhere.
