Bulldog rail self surgery
I'm no stranger to working with metal especially alluminum being in the glass buisness for years l worked with a lot of window frames and entry doors.
So after a few beers l was in the garage and got measurements and figures and lubed up the hacksaw for rail cutting.
Everything came perfect holes lined up the only thing l have to do is get the thickness of the top decked out to a thinner measurement l have a friend who can do that at work on a machine honestly it wasn't that hard l just didn't want to screw it up.
Just needed some liquid encouragement lol.
I estimate it's gonna be a 335 or 340 from my measurements anywhere around there is just fine for me

The old cut off was used as a template it really helped.
I was worried about the gap between rail and riser but l nailed it.
I think l just got lucky...or l would have just kept cutting my way to a vixen.or sapphire bulldog...lolol

Re: Bulldog rail self surgery
Make sure you haven’t left a notch in the bottom, rear corners. Nice work! You’re good with hand tools!!!
Some people just like stepping on rakes

2 inches off and you have an Ibex
3 inches off and you have a thumbhole Vixen

Re: Bulldog rail self surgery
I haven’t ever cut a front end back but I made a regular Matrix a Bulldog. Non ferrous metal cutting blade on a Unisaw( I’m a tablesaw guy). Had to finish up just a tad at corners w a file. Worked like a champ.! Stock was hard part, I made a Gen I Micro stock into a Bulldog stock. That’s being hardheaded there! Lot of work. I love the playing w these.

If you only had a beer left does that mean you drank 11 beers. ??

That's good enough for the girls we date!!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
