Unfotunately all my moped work has been put to a stop due to back issues. Jeez I was here when there was only 3300 hundred people lol. Great job, glad so many are getting interested in their old mopeds!!
In that absense I have picked up a new hobby now that I am 18.....GUNS
My First One: Mini 14
From stock with a Nikon M-223 2-8x32mm Scope on it...
First Pics 004 by jpetrak, on Flickr
To this...
-Trigger Job (traded my stock one for his 3.5lbs. one to sell his )
-Choate Handgaurd
-Front Bipod stud installed
-Home made cheek rest under the bandolier
-Mo-Reaper Muzzle Brake

Then came the Henry Frontier 22 S/L/LR Lever Action
-After market front and rear sights
-Weaver rail modified to fit for repeatable scope detachment&attachment if I so choose
DSCN0088 by jpetrak, on Flickr
Then came my Savage FVT Bolt Action 22LR. My dad gave me his old 308 bolt scope. Its a Nikon Monarch UCC 5.5-16x44mm AO and is a HECK OF A LOT BETTER QUALITY scope than ones I was going to get lol.
Stock...
Guns 063 by jpetrak, on Flickr
To...
-New scope mount and rings (used) from DNZ (medium) to lower scope hieght over the bore
-New metal trigger guard and bottom metal from DIP
-New stock from Richards Microfit (it needed quite a bit of work to fit the rifled action. Inlettling the new metals, making the barrel free float, making the rear site bracket available, sand, steel wool, 6 coats of finish, etc) Its a real looker now

And finally, I saved the best for last. My Dad's HS graduation present to me.
Kimber Custom Carry II 45 ACP (I always would tell him how dinky his 9mm's are and how much better the 45 is at stopping power )

I am so lucky to have parents that will help pay for my hobbies due to my back problems. On the 24th of this month I'm finally (after 3 years) am getting a permenant fix. A fractured vertabrae is getting put back together and that vertabrae is being fused to the one below it. I'm so glad things are finally lining up.
Well, just wanted to say Hi to all that helped me through my Spree build and sorry I haven't been around.
Wish me luck guys!
Good to talk again everyone!
Regards,
Jacob
