HI guys. Referring back to a recent post about the old ARH (Air Rifle Headquarters ), I mentioned having obtained an F120 stock. Turned out to be a Jim Macari (of the current Air Rifle Headquarters) replica Myrtle Walnut. By coincidence, I had also just found an original ARH F12 that arrived with a broken stock. : ( So, I decided to marry the 2 and create my own F120!
For those who don't know, an F120 was a FWB124 variant produced by Robert Law of the original Air Rifle Headquarters back in the 70s. The same is true of the F12. The F120 was an F12 in a special made ARH stock and accessories galore.
The project is now in its final stages. I'm posting the development so far. I hope you enjoy and appreciate the fine craftsmanship of Scott Blair who is doing all the hard work.
Stock in rough state. Yes, that's my Sheridan Supergrade next to it!
Sizing up the Rosewood cap and butt pad.. Fortunately, a very similar to the original pad was available!
First coat of oil, cap starting to take shape.
3 coats and butt pad added. More to come as it develops! !
Yes, that's a Steve Corcoran 124 stock next to it. That's another project all together. Both are off to be chequered. Notice the difference between the two! Which would be your choice?
Coat number four with final grip cap design.
Mock up using a Burris Mini. Final production scope will be a 66R. The Rob Hawkins tune produced 826 fps on a 40 degree day with a standard deviation of 4!! Now that's some impressive tuning! Finally, Off to the checkerer!!
Back from checkering. Extremely pleased with the results. Scott Blair has outdone himself! The details are stunning! IMO NEXT will be the final touch of adding the 66R scopes.
The action in the Steve Corcoran stock has a JM Soft Tune Kit in it. It's sleek and sexy design will be complimentary to the easy cocking and smooth shot cycle.
