Yipee!

Well, that solves the old what-shall-Abby-do-today question; the Ultimak rail arrived!

This means, of course, I need to clear off my Expeditionary Gunsmith's Bench (that is, the coffee table), roll out my Non-Marring Bench Mat (that is, an old towel), and see if I can find enough tools to get this particular job done without a trip to the Storage Unit of Sadness.

Alas, I still don't have an optic to put on once I get the rail mounted. But I'm sure one will turn up, so I will charge forward!

Pics and doubtlessly hilarious tales of my non-handiness to follow.

UPDATE: That didn't even rate its own entry. I thought I'd have some cutting to do on the inside of the compositie stock, but that wasn't the case. Too simple.
