Title: 54" BBI
Post by: hillbilly61 on September 17, 2011, 05:26:26 pm

  Finished this one a couple weeks ago. Been shooting it every day breaking it in. It's very smooth and quiet and fast. It don't need them but I'm going to add rabbit fur silencers for the looks.
  Bamboo backed IPE 54" t2t, 45# @ 26" 1 1/8" at fades tapering to 1/2" tips. Leather shelf and strike plate. Wrapped with the tennis grip type wrap. Bamboo was dyed with Ritz brown dye cut with alcohol.
