Cut it to size and stick it in a toaster oven. Then wrap it around the gun and stick it in a Harbor Freight vacume bag.

Youll end up with something like this

Thanks Brian, I was talking about you today. Dave Chambers is in my break trailer at work. You coach his daughter. Small world, never thought I would meet anyone outside of the range that shoots completely.

Dave shoots on the SJSC HiPower team with us (when his job doesn't interfere!) and also the occasional SJSC 200yd XTC match.

I hope we see Dave and Autumn back this year for the new season of Tuesday Youth Rifle League at SJSC that begins on May 5.

 

And I hope we see you come out for some XTC matches at SJSC (usually 3rd Sunday) and Cumberland (usually 1st Sunday) this season.

I been thinking about it, I still have to get a mat, coat and scope. 

 

If theres no pistol stuff going on I'll probably do some rifle stuff. I shouldn't let that bad ass rifle collect dust.

Not bad. There are a few things that could be different. Most notably, the trigger guard. You may want to relieve the tension around the trigger a bit. Having it molded with the trigger back can lead to an AD when holstering. Overall it's a damn good first attempt.

I like this! I'm still a greenhorn in this sport, but an old hack at making things. Your pictures inspire my confidence to do the same thing.

 

I don't get the Obama reference?

I could be reading it wrong, but he might be implying that "you didn't make that".
