IBS Gear Spotlight: Home-Built Co-Axial (Joystick) Front Rest
Do-It-Yourself Joystick Rest — Jeff’s Labor of Love
Quite a few competitors chamber their own barrels, and a few construct their own stocks. But Jeff Godfrey takes the prize for do-it-yourself audacity — he built his own co-axial front rest from scratch. Sam Hall provides this report:
“Jeff, one of Piedmont Gun Club’s regulars, is a talented fabricator. He made one of the smoothest joystick rests that I have ever laid my hands on. Jeff’s home-built coaxial rest rivals the Farley and Seb Max. It will also handle a wide fore-end Heavy Gun. Constructing virtually every part of this rest from scratch, Jeff made his own co-axial to save money. You have to admire his ingenuity and his dedication. Jeff says it took him over 100 hours to make. He said there would be no way he could make another one for profit!”

It would be nice to know which joystick he used and where he purchased the hardware.
It says, quoting Sam Hall, “Contructing virtually every part of this rest from scratch, Jeff made his own co-axial to save money.”
Not much room for parts/hardware purchasing in that description . . . .

This is barely an introduction! Once upon a time these stories had more than a link-bait title and two short paragraphs of intro text.
