Cheers Davy

Mac/jmmy offered to do some stock work for me on a rifle that I was servicing for a perm owner,

I declined cos it was a rough gun and just a quick fix.

So I put this challenge to him cos he's got some skills when it comes to fixing thing up, and we both thought it was a good idea for a good cause:)

So poor mac's copped for the hard part

If you put up a link to your summer bash I'm sure there will be interest !
