Here's my 22WMR, got it from a member here a few weeks ago. The scope is a cheapy I had laying around, not sure what i am going to go with, but this will do for now. Haven't even shot it yet, but hope to wreak havoc on the squirrels soon.

I posted this in the 10/22 thread, but always looking for a reason to brag on my kids.

Here is my 13 year old son's, that he redid himself. The original wood stock was too long, but would be OK in about a year, so he did not want to do anything to it in case he wanted to use it later.

We found a take off for about $30, he measured how much he needed to cut off, made a template, marked it off, and cut it down with a hand coping saw. I took a dremel with a sanding barrel to show him how to smooth it out, and let him finish it.

He then stripped it down to bare wood, primed it, taped it off and shot the base coat. He had to tape it 3 more times to get the camo effect. It is kind of thick, but he loves it. I had a little Simmons 3x9 that he mounted on it. He is looking at upgrades now, (of course), but that is what I got it for him to do.

Good for him, and good for you letting him do it.

Maybe a future gunsmith in the making?
