Sorry, I couldn't just paste the images.


It is made of Sapelli and ended up at 68.5" with a 54" UHMW enclosed track. All hardware is from Neptonics.

Nice, sepele is a fancy type mahagony (also called ribbon mah.) always make good wood for guns.
 
Here are the original pictures and a couple more. One with the Ray Odor spear I picked up last weekend. That guy is awesome! I spent 10 minutes picking out the equipment and 2 hours touring his shop and house. I also added the wood to the handle. That was a fun project.

I bought a piece of Sapelli for $120 which will be enough to make 4 guns.
Trigger - $80
Handle - $40
UHMW 54" Track - $40
Epoxy and Hardener - $50
2 65" Ray Odor Spear Shafts - $80

All in all it doesn't sound all that cheap, but the more I think about it, if I were to buy this type of gun it would set me back much more than the $275 or so that went into the gun. I am saying that much because I can use the wood and epoxy on other guns.

Nice Gun. What was the overall cost & time required for the build?
