HW100 bullpup

[buttloaves]

Started to make a bullpup stock this afternoon from the same ash branch i used for my crosman, bit of a pain cutting planks from a 12" dia log with a sabre saw, did it though, my tools are a bit rough and ready but it gets the job done eventually

Stock's coming along nicely but I really do dislike all bullpups, luckily beauty is as they say in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks for your comments, bikes nearly all gone now only the Harley left , as for logs there's loads in the woods near me, trigger linkage not made yet but it will be simple (piece of bent coat hanger)

Jez the pistol grip should be relative to the position of the butt pad, ideally if you push the pad into the crook of your elbow your hand should naturally fall onto the pistol grip, works for me, now you need to decide where you want the action to start,mine is set well back at 25mm from the end of the wood,pad not fitted yet, which will put my trigger between the scope rail mounting ring and cylinder mounting ring between which i can create the trigger mounting i hope.
