Alright, it's been awhile since I last posted anything but, I'm starting to get back at it. This is not a ruger but, a Marlin 925 mag. Didn't know where else to post it but i think it should fit here.
I came up with my own solution for a "different" kind of sunshade (they don't make one for the scope I have on it and I like the scope too much to go and buy a different one). I decided to make a large, free floating type that will later be attatched to the stock. I have it just sitting on the barrell to get an idea of what it would look like. I don't know if this will work or not but, i'm actually kinda liking it so far. I still have a ways to go to get the whole package the way I want...fabricate a new bolt handle,make an adjustable cheekrest,cut down g3 mag to cover my clip,etc....
I'm also working on a honeycomb killflash insert for the shade and a black/OD green-snakeskin-camo paint job. Sorry for the lousy pics (can't find my camera so i used my phone).
