Making a steel butt plate. How to?

[Mr. Habib]

Where's the checkering? You can't properly butt stroke a melon with a smooth butt plate.





Seriously, that looks sweet! If you decide to make more, let me know, I have a jig saw that would make the process go much faster.

Should we expect to soon be able to peruse photos/video of Crickets with buttplates,exploding melons, and grinning faces??.... Just askin'.

That is the plan. Gotta figure out how we do a screaming, running melon smash while maintaining a safe direction with the rifle or shaking the camera with laughter.

Can't wait to see this!

That definitely deserves a rep! Starting the day with a laugh! Thank you

 

[Scutter01]

Epic.

 

[Mr. Habib]

Beyond cool. The only thing lacking is a nice long bayonet.

 

[lovemywoods]

The future challenge for your daughters will be to find husbands that will be dads that are as cool as there own father is!

Looks like everyone had fun and had a great time together.

Techres, your video skills are setting a standard so high that I may never get there!

 

[jeremy]

Well done!!!

 

[KG1]

Very cool! You three kids look like you were haveing alot of fun That melon had it comming

 

[techres]

Beyond cool. The only thing lacking is a nice long bayonet.

That is on the list. The only question is if it will be a blade, spike, or spork. I am leaning towards the latter.

Oh, and a 37mm launcher...

A spork, I've gotta see a Spork bayo on a Cricket! That thing will be a melon's worst nightmare...steel butt-plate to crack the melon, and a spork bayo to scoop out the squishy goodness!
