Re: Build Thread - 52” midhandle

Taking a break for a little bit. Want to know I’m 100% on my shape before I commit to epoxy. Still don’t know what direction I want to take my inlay, but I’m going to put a medium or large one in front of the reel. Lot of real estate there to utilize. Can’t seem to take pictures that do this thing justice.

I like the blue grip handle. Try some photos with the gun horizontal and 3/4 views along the stock to display the lines of the gun, both from the front and the rear. You can dangle it on mono loops from an overhead using the band anchor slot and the mechanism slot with a T-bar.

Re: Build Thread - 52” midhandle

Salvimar was the budget option. I got this build done remarkably cheap. Found a local teak wholesaler one of the largest in the US and the owner let me walk through and grab material for cheap. The exotics I also got for a steal.

This whole build is maybe $400.00

Put that reel on your 42 and go work some corners for the matching aussie.

I’d need to get my hands on one to see how it mounts. The 42 has the riffe low profile reel mounted on it. That reel is needlessly expensive. I can’t believe I spent $200 on that piece of shit

Hope your happy, I made the call today to figure out how to put an Aussie on this thing in matching color.

Makes no sense to build a gun to the best of my ability and put a cheap reel on it.

Im going to slap this Salvimar on a 36" midhandle holegun made of teak.

Going to sell that one so i stop getting crucified over this hobby.
