We finished the ALPHA 40 build..... I couldn't be happier. The gun looks even better than I imagined!!!!! I painted the master stock for now but when I get home the stock will be sent off to be made. I will have all the parts re-cerakoted and will install a different butpad. Those things need to be done before the gun is 100% complete so it will be a few weeks before I start testing.

Not sure what the gun will weigh when all is said and done... The master stock was created by adding bondo and wood to achieve the desired look and feel. The real wood stock will be much lighter than the master..... so I can't get an accurate weight right now

Looking real good and i like the way you kept everyone updated. Its a labor of love and not everything goes as fast as many people would like for it to go when you have custom work done. YOUR GUN WAS DONE QUICK IMO!
So in saying that, i patiently wait to see the end result once the final stock is done and to then see how she shoots and groups. Just from the pics above, it looks accurate and powerful.......
YOU GOT ANY HELIUM!!!!? LOL!

very nice?? noooooo is a very very very very very very niceeeeeeeeeeee
This worked very well , as the stock fellow says , is very beautiful and well-crafted ,
Here in Spain we can do so much "legally" I still have the papers to the police , to remove the license to manufacture PCP rifles ,
in my country all rifles including airsoft guns , must carry serial number, and also any PCP or spring, with more than 24.2 Juls power , it is considered a firearm , so we must take the gun license to legally use a rifle over 24.2 juls ,
take this message to know if anyone knows of any manufacturer .... barrels to send to Spain , barrels for compressed air ....
I need something in .250 caliber of a 25 " or more and with proven accuracy ,
Greetings to all and thank you, and sorry for my English ....

I think you have had a good week.
Very few people have a opportunity to go hang out with a custom gun builder.
Then go on a hog hunt.
Then be there when they are testing helium in two of their guns.
Good luck with the ALPHA 40 now go sling some lead.

Just got back to Virginia..... I am glad to be home. Thank you guys for all the comments. You are right.... I am very fortunate that Brent invited me to his shop and on the hunt. He is a stand up guy and he and his family were a blessing to be around. I got to spend a little time with Alan Avram also.. He is awesome! And Bob Vogel is one cool dude! We had alot of fun. I am so pleased with the work Brent did. He is a MASTER MACHINIST! Gotta go look at my gun... I can't stop looking at it!!!! LOL!!!!
