338 Lapua rifle made for man in wheelchair

[Nick Leduc]

There is a gentleman who has been posting in one of the FB groups I follow of his father and him designing/manufacturing a rifle so he can shoot. From what I gather, it looks like he is quadriplegic. Unfortunately his story is picture and text heavy, so I won't share it in entirety but here is a link for those who are still on FB:

Needless to say you don't park in his handicap space...

This is how the world ends, this is how Davros started.

Great post- love to see someone finding a way to overcome great challenges in order to enjoy shooting.

Adapt and overcome.

If there is a will there is a way.

Total DIY black pipe. Love it.

So I must be the only one that thinks the whole thing turns 45 degrees to the right every time he fires it...

I hope whoever built the gun didn’t build that black pipe frame for it.
That’s super Mikey mouse. Figure whoever made that nice rifle could have come up
with some steel tubing. All those BP fittings look like hell.

Pretty awesome what people are able to overcome. Like this guy.

It was his father. So he gets a pass.

I'm sure version two will have welded chrome moly tube or something pretty, maybe a shock to deal with recoil a bit? If you read the text you can tell its a WIP. This is awesome, IMO.
