Hahaha - front rest is an old screw type car jack - nice and solid, adjustable and best of all - free.
The stock is a Boyds blaster - I purchased it as an unfinished stock so I could do the inletting for the lithgow - for some reason they don't do inletting for one......
Minor mods required to the stock was a removal of a hump at the rear of the receiver end (this is there to blend in with the receiver of the 10/22 they normally do these for i think ) and to cur out some of the meat around the trigger / magazine area as this area was very deep (~ 15 mm removed).
The trigger guard is a bit rough but will look better once painted black. The lithgow one wont fit so I made a two piece one out of some aluminium extrusion - actually some corrugated fins off a heat soak recovered from an old plasma TV - This will be a later day replacement job
Kids reckon it looks "like a real rifle" now.
Oiled stock half completed is below - another coat should do it - using Tru-oil which is easy to apply - only disappointment is that the timber came out a bit darker than I originally wanted but looks reasonable anyway.
