In commemoration of my 100th post, the time has come to introduce Rubin. A project 3.5 years in the making which has been undergoing a super top secret completion the past couple of weeks has come to fruition. Because no one thought I could leave a Lilja 6 ARC barrel waiting in the back corner of the closet, did they?
Rubin is the runt of the Hendge household, weighing in at 5.15 lbs unscoped and 6.67 lbs with my trusty old Vortex HSLR 2.5-10x30 FFP (XLR Reticle) sitting up top. All that's missing is gas block, gas tube and crush washer, so his weight will go up a smidgen. But he's ready to test fire after I made 5 ARC cases yesterday so I can get a headspace reading and properly size when I go into mass brass production.
Gigi isn't jealous at all. If fact, they make a cute couple for a skinny guy and a heavy set girl.
There may be some jealousy on match days in the future, but we will cross that bridge when it's time.
Build details to come......
