shroud is {was}D-cell maglite parts,that collected in the bottom of my toolbox.seemed like a good chunk of aluminium.

Nice job. How's it shoot?/

Deej · « **Reply #7 on:** October 22, 2012, 02:21:55 PM »

shoots great!It was shooting 5 in a little 1/4 cloverleaf @10M with the 3x9x40 Centerpoint that comes on NP22's.Every time.One night I was showing off for G-kids and nailing aspirin 4 outta 5 at 10M.Decided anything that shot that well deserved a better scope,so I borrowed the Leapers 4x16x40 from my Benji,which is having lockup issues.The ridiculously large scope somehow still fits in case (barely),and sure solves eye relief issue,lol. havent got it back to where it was,yet,but I think it's because I accidently bought 8.2g Miesters rather than the 7.0g's it loves.An $80 AG that only likes expensive pellets.I'm lucky that way.

Very Nice, is that the stock wood color or did you strip and re do it? Any details?

thanks

dude, yours looks awesome! i just got one about three weeks ago and it will only shoot the jsb 8.4s any good. everything else just not worthy. i was getting 1/4 inch groups with mine before the scope broke

edit: oh yeah, and what did you do to the wood?

David Powell · « **Reply #13 on:** October 29, 2012, 09:58:31 AM »

Pretty neat plinker you have there.

Deej · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2012, 02:13:55 PM »

Thanks for the compliments,guys.I didnt spend a lot of time on the wood,just cut down and trued-up foregrip,sanded off original finish,rubbed in some Old English dark scratch-cover with OO steel wool,and a couple of coats of tung oil.It seemed that the longer I rubbed w/ steel wool,the more it darkened and streaked.This thing turned out way better than I intended,just a lucky gun I think.I think it is getting a gas ram conversion this winter,thanks to scotchmo doing all the homework for me (Thanks!)

Millipede · « **Reply #15 on:** October 29, 2012, 02:50:31 PM »

what did you think of the original open sights? mine are waaaay too high and cant go lower

Wheelman88 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:31:58 PM »

Very nice looking gun!

What a great 're-cycle' idea for an old maglite.
Now it's a 'green' gun.
Well done !

Very, very cool! My .22 57 stock is the same shade of varnish. The .177 is blue.
