new hybrid

[deepdestroyer]

This is my first hybrid, it is mahogany, purple heart, and lace with zebra wood handle grips. I made it a takedown hybrid, but will not use the same method to attach the barrel for future takedown hybrids. I guess this was kinda a exparament and have learned a bunch on this build.

I will post a pic with the muzzle tomorrow because thats when the owner is coming to get it and he has the muzzle. Good thing hes my friend because this thing has a few "oooops's"... Oh well I guess. Hope you guys like it.

My buddy gave it to me like that. He took it to a machine shop and had them take it off.

Nice gun! Is it easy to make a long accurate tubular hole in the gun to allow the tube in? I think longer ET wood guns would really benefit from a metal or CF tube to control any micro warping of wood that can really rob power from an ET gun.

Wow, very nice.
How is the barrel fixed so you can take it out?

No its not my shop, I am in the dental field and make teeth for dentists. I have my lab set up in two rooms in my house.

I wouldnt say its easy, but its not hard either. I just cut the blank in half, rout a half circle in each side, then epoxy it back together. I think putting lams of carbon fiber might be better to help control warping then putting tubes inside. it really makes for a big bulky stock.

Right now it is held in with friction (quite tightly I might add), but I wasnt sure if my buddy wanted it pinned, or screwed, or held in with a set screw so I just left it with nothing so he could use whatever method he wanted.

thats what I did on my build too, I think its easier than drilling a hole that long and straight.
