Got the itch to build something new so I bought a mostly bare chaser pistol in .22 from our local dealer. He has a huge stockpile of parts and can build them like Lego in whatever configuration you want.
I’ve already chopped 6 mm off the barrel and re-crowned it.
Also throated the chamber polished the internals , deburred transfer port and any chamber burrs.
I’ll be making a custom carbon fibre and aluminum muzzle brake Air stripper / barrel shroud.
probably like the one I built for my 1322
Finished a new oversize shaft 4.1mm for perfect lockup stainless bolt.
Anyhow I have some Canadian maple and Cocobolo wood for accents I plan on making a stock etc from for it.
Also got my main stock piece from a local uber high end woodwork shop , it is ¼ sawn California Myrtle Most expensive hardwood in north america. I got an off cut that was already machine perfect flat and level, perfect for inletting.
Started to map out the shape , trying to get an idea off the shape I want and inletting needed.
Thought I’d fire some pellets through it to see what it was going to do as stock.

Both pellets different weights going almost the same speed.
This really surprised me.
and the penetrating power of those H&N HPs slugs was startling, through a soup can like it was not there.
Really surprised that there is no large difference in velocity between the two pellets
