Had to be the operator.....JB weld never fails.......LOL.
Added a cheek piece, secured in true rat rifle style, with some electrical tape.
Man, I thought you would have gone full redneck and used duct tape at least.
It has been fun, but.... It is time to pull the plug on this one.
Ron, you done gone full "Steam Punk" LOL
I thought it was kinda cool.
Some ideas are just too stupid to die.... The scope (a freebie) was very wonky, and the scope mount always a problem because the grooves in the receiver aren't very deep and so didn't hold a scope very well. This being a parts box build, a new scope was out of the question, but there was that Williams receiver sight in the parts box.... The receiver sight is so lightweight that it holds to the receiver grooves much better than a scope mount/scope rings do. More changes are ahead, but here she is, reborn as a plinker:
I put the rat rifle on a diet--substituting aluminum struts for the steel ones I started with (the struts run back to the butt plate), and cutting about 9" off of the "fore stock". It is considerably lighter now.

Mouse, you're getting there!!!
The peep sight didn't work out (my eyes are 10 years older than the last time I used it, and much, much worse for wear). So, it's back to the 12X scope for now....
