[QUOTE="45LongColt, post: 494635, member: 32929"] A friend of mine said I should post some pictures of my project gun I have been working on. [SIZE=2]I basically started from scratch with a stock 2003 Striker 516... tore it down and rebuilt it using recommendations from folks on this site. Everything has worked out better than I had expected and I could not have done this without this website and the gracious members, moderators and contributors. Below are a few pictures of the pistol back together ready for bases, rings and scope. I'll take care of all of that next week. Below is a list of folks who were actively engaged with my build that I would like to personally thank for their assistance & support. .358Hammer BlueAvenger SSCoyote Earnie Tigger Kevin Rayhill (Stockade Custom Rifles/Stocks) Bill Hawk (Bolt Knobs by Bill) Dave Kiff (PT&G) Kevin Cram (Montour County Rifles) Karl Kampfeld (Kampfeld Custom) Scott Null (Savage Gunsmithing) Jim See (Centershot Rilfes) Joe Morgan (Personal Friend and outstanding Smith)[/SIZE] Here are the specs [B]2003 Savage Striker Pistol Model-516[/B] [B]Action Work[/B] Bolt raceway trued, safety reworked, all manufacturing wording filed out, sanded and polished to high luster, mag well converted with block & bench rest follower, original 1st generation center trigger removed and converted to rear trigger assembly.
