Elwood Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 nice Ian but i am going to pinch your uj flag idea if you dont mind Go for it Mark. The actual art work on mine was superb, but it was supposed to be purple not F'ing pink! I haven't given up on the Union Jack idea, I just couldn't afford the £££ on another custom paint job. Davy, it shoots really well. Fire forming loads have been the most accurate at the moment. Tomorrow I'm going to be putting 168 and 180 gr VLD's through their paces.

Chris-NZ Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ian- the final gloss finish- is it a two-pot? "Pretty flash" as they say round these parts Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 That looks like it will shoot a bit! ian you mentioned a few names, i know one or two but who did what?names and services provided if you will.thanks. Paul, Bullet243 from here, made the laminate and shaped the stock. Neil made the cheek piece riser, he also did the inlet and bedding. Andy did all the metal work including a spare barrel and the dies. Hydrographics did the purple marble, the Union jack was done by someone else. Dave Lloyd was my council for about 18 months Andy, the Union jack was very close to working, John from Hydrographics wanted to have a crack at it but I just didn't want to take the chance, I might pluck up the courage again at the end of the year. Les, I presume you're talking about the purple marble finish? if so £180 which included postage back. Normal turn around time is 3 weeks. Chris, I believe it's 2 pac same thing? If you want to see some seriously vibrant colours have a look here http://www.house-of-kolor.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6_17, check out the Kandy basecoats, metalic/marble and Shirim colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY T Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Go for it Mark. The actual art work on mine was superb, but it was supposed to be purple not F'ing pink! I haven't given up on the Union Jack idea, I just couldn't afford the £££ on another custom paint job. Davy, it shoots really well. Fire forming loads have been the most accurate at the moment. Tomorrow I'm going to be putting 168 and 180 gr VLD's through their paces. Hi Mark If you don't mind me asking who did the artwork on the stocks and how much did it cost.

oaken Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Elwood what happened to your passion for green rifles? You are loosing your way old boy! It does look stunning if a bit bling :-P Rup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I quite liked the union flag design, it doesn't look pink at all on my laptop screen just different shades of purple. That said the marbled design does look classy and I must say the rifle as a whole oozes quality. A thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
