A while back I posted a thread about a rail gun project I was working on.
I don't know or can't find any pictures I might have posted, so here are some of the finished product.
It all started about ten years ago, a friend of mine bought the upper part at an auction, there was no base.
He asked me if I could make a base for it, I said I would try and not knowing much about rail guns at the time, I just winged it.
It came out OK but was not a tack driver that a rail gun should (it was .308 ).
During the time he had the gun I don't think he shot it much, then he called me and said had bought a newer one (in 6mmppc) and asked if I wanted the old one (complete with a Leupold 46X)
Of course I said yes.
After looking at his new one and taking some pictures of it and browsing the web.
I took off the wood bottom and mounted it to a piece of 6" u channel and made a new windage and elevation adjustments. I also reworked the front rest.
Range report, just a bug hole at 100 yards (.308 match)
