My Steel and Rimfire Challenge.
Top one with Hogue Tactical stock.  Tac-Sol barrel.  Weighs in about 4.4#
On the bottom is a cut down Ruger stock using a Tandem-Kross barrel.  3.3#

Will work for ammo

I like both of them. Something like a Magpul MOE X-22 stock would be more my style than the Hogue.

If you did I missed it.  Post it now!!!!

I can't believe I haven't kept up with this thread....
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

In case:


Assembled as 10" pistol:

Note 6" pistol and 16" rifle barrels, and QD sling-mount on rear rail. Also note "Lawyer Lettering" on stock, red paint is current since white labeling wouldn't stick.

In rifle setup:

Yeah, it's a weird setup on the Viridian Ion scope, but it was the only way to get the eyebox BACK to my eye.

The whole concept was to put a complete range trip into one briefcase, inspired by the AR7 in From Russia With Love. If a real Q Branch asked me to build a briefcase-gun for Double-O Section I'd tell 'em "just give 'em all ASDW's and get a life!" but this one's about spy-movie fantasy not reality.

It's kind of weird looking, but I kind of like it.  8)

The secret-sauce is I had Louis at Acculite cherrypick me three matched barrels, a Midwest STAP-SF rail-mount folding buffer-tube adapter for AR stocks and lots of discontinued Leapers 3-slot QD optic risers as QD adapters. (STAP and pistol slingmount each screwed onto one, optic mounted atop another.) Folding grip is the same FAB Defense one used on USAF GAU-5 ASDW's. The thumbrest and angled foregrip are also FAB Defense, I've found that when positioned together as pictured the two pieces give a VERY solid lockup with the support hand--a neighbor thinks my braced Mk 18 pistol thus configured gives every bit as much control without a stock as his Mk 18 SBR with one.

If I were doing this again, I'd dump that SOPMOD for an M4 wafflestock--it's just too big and bulky even though the rear-end weight helps with balance.

That blue tape? I'm trying to find a crapped-out, defect or otherwise scrap Midwest 10/22 handguard that I can have somebody cut back to about there for the 6" barrel. The bare barrel fits but IMO looks kinda Bubba, out of step trying to go for a slick high-tech "Bond Movie Gun" feel.

How good are you with a hacksaw and file? Aluminum isn't that hard to work with.

It's less that than the fact that I don't wanna pay full list price for something I'm only keeping 1/3 of. :)
