    That is way cool!

    Why left handed threads? Is that for holding paper down south of the equator? Oh, just looked at the photo again, thats right handed.. guess is for us north of the big E

    How did you make it? Especially the internal threading.. tap, or special bit?

    Good work no matter what!

    I assume you held the stock vertically? You should do another out of foam or something real light then use something like Sculpt Noveau to make it look like a rusty old bolt. Excellent job
