Update 9/14
Heres what I got done tonight. Modified the stock a little. What do you think of the barrel? To long or just right? Man do I love power tools :)

Boy, she's a beaut! Fantastic work, my friend!

Is that walnut?

You absolutely rock!

wow thats impressive, i like the barrel too, nice work with drill holes.

thanks.

Its solid oak.

Wish I could take credit for it all. TK409 has a link to a tutorial on his site. I just made a few mods and a PVC tripod.

Bondo and paint next weekend.

Cool. I've come back and looked at this a few times today.

Very Nice Work!!

You must show the pics once it has been painted and weathered.

I've been planning to build one myself in FG....hopefully soon.
Hey Rex, we sure got a lot of 1/6 reference on this, right?;)

keep taking pics!! I wanna see more as you go along.

I just built an E-11 out of wood and PVC pipe, so I got respect for the mad skills you show here.

I used pine for the handle, big mistake. (but it was scrap from my shop floor so no big loss, need better material.)

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!

I just got the PVC painted this weekend and added the bondo to the smooth out some areas. The oak was on sale and will take a beating without denting(to much).
