  • Sniper Rod

    I just finished this Surf rod build for a new customer of mine.

    His Step-father passed away a few weeks ago and was a 5th Marine Sniper in Vietnam. He wanted the Vietnam Veteran bar as a split grip & the guides wrapped in the Combat Action Valor bar colors.
    I also thought it would be cool to slap a .50 Cal cartridge on there as the front check.

    Blank: Batson SUR1063
    Guides: Alps XBXNLG
    Seat: AT AB22MB

                  Thanks for the props, it was a fun build & the meaning behind it made it truly worthwhile.
                  He is ordering a Breast Cancer awareness rod for his wife today. (note the BCA ribbon on this rod. His mom passed away two Sundays after his stepfather)
                  His dad fought along side Bill Balleza from Channel 2 News. He is taking it to show Bill.
