[SEL] Maytags always steal the show !!

Hey, Joe,

That stock looks very nice, but a bit too new for me.

Hi Alan,  & Tommy - - - 

That stock ain't new.  I found it at a flea market for $3.  It is made of
oak
and the rear part of the stock was formed but the front was still square.
I cut a channel in the top and shaved the front till I thought it looked
pretty good.
Then I cut through where the trigger would go and had an electrician
friend bend me some 3/4 conduit. 
You can hear it "cracking" all over the show.  Has a pretty distinctive
sound.
Yes - - - Maytags are a bit "nerve wracking".  So I usually don't run it
too long.
It also swivels so I can aim it toward Dave if he's in the area.

Tommy,
   
Yes - It's about shoulder height.
It also has a "slip Joint" just below where the trigger would be and
slips
off the stand for transporting.

I don't want to say I was the first but, I had no one to copy from so,
it's pretty 
much my own idea.
