Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Sapper524</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I followed this project for a while but haven't for the past year. Just browsed the thread up to current and unless I missed something ....

I can take the 605 action and drop it into a XLR chassis and use the Black Ops/Defiance mags ...

So the 605 uses a recoil lug the same as 700 SA and I build a kiplinger trigger and barrel my action and roll? Have a full size trainer to match my 308?

HELL YAH ... put me back on the list!

</div></div>

Sapper,
The design criteria is such that you can do exactly what you've outlined here. You're still on the list....

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there's not enough room in the 40X(B) to accommodate the 22Mag. When I designed the Model 605, it's with the intent to chamber all four Rimfire rounds.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Mike,

Got any more pics of your 22's yet for us to drool over?

Have a question. Is it possible to create a MAK tube gun trainer off one of your 22 repeater actions? If so can you PM me a price please.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

No problem with doing a tube gun trainer.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Cant wait to see some pics and feedback of the conversions.

I would like to see what I might be getting myself into.

The lack of pictures is starting to become a reoccurring theme .....


Hopefully this thing comes to fruition soon enough, before the excessive gas prices start eating into my shooting budgets ......

The re-occurring theme that concerns me is R&D....aka, Ripoff and Duplicate. Pictures will be posted when this is no longer a concern for me.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

I appreciate the support guys. This conversion has been attempted and it isn't as straightforward as it sounds. After the time and energy I've spent on it, I think it's wise to protect it, prior to showing it off.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Its understandable to want to protect your hard work and God knows how many hours and piles of money spent on getting it right!! Don't blame you one bit, Mike!

Now with that said...how about some pics of the 605's already!!!
wink.gif






Sorry...couldn't resist!! Still chomping at the bit for these projects to get into production. Thanks as always for the continued hard work, dedication and updates!

Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Daddy only has so much money to spend on gear this year, and the longer this goes on, the less likely I'll have the cash to do this- considering we don't even have prices yet.

What is it about a 700Rem Pattern repeater that seems to make cold fusion look like a cake walk?

Always good to keep something secret giving you a temporary monopoly after launch. Launch first, don't have bugs, continue to improve so you are better than impostors and you will pretty much own the category.

Am looking forward to seeing pictures, though.

what i had on reserve for this is now mostly gone, and will be completely gone in a few weeks too.

 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

I'm with ya guys. Those other suppressors keep calling my name... as does that pistol... and that other rifle... and that...

Its kinda like, "well, I think I'll have time to build the capital back up." But of course as soon as I smoke the discretionary fund, this will be ready.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Mike,
If you were in our shoes (drooling over the 2 kick ass rimfire options you are soon to have) which way would you go and why? Eighter get a 40x and have you do the conversion or go for the house build? I dont mean to put you on the spot and dont need a very specific answer, Im just looking to get an opnion with some experience (on this subject) behind it. Thank you for your time.

I'd say, if you don't already have the 40X, go with the new action, but it will depend on how far you want to go with a build. If you want a Manners stock with DBM and the full custom route, the custom action would be a better way to go.

I have a full custom built on a converted 40X and the better bang for the repeater buck is the new action. If you're looking to go with an intermediate build, converting the 40X is a great way to go.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Kinda what I thought, thank you.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Mike,

I'd say the two main variables are the engineering of the conversion and the delta between the cost of the conversion and the new action. You've said the engineering is still sensative, but what about the pricing, so at least I know how much to leave in my piggy bank.

thx

Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Thanks for the update, sounds like a nice recipe for a rifle. Looking forward to the pics.

I've forgotten over time, but have you released any pics of you new repeating action that you build from the ground up?

At the risk of becoming very unpopular, I read the first page, and the last. There doesnt seem to be a product and I dont think there is any groundbreaking new design going on here, so what's between the first and last page in this thread besides gas? What am I missing?

Just curious....

Sounds great on the 40x mod! What is the sit rep on the house build? Thats what Im drooling over

Aside from being lazy, you're pretty short sited to base an opinion on your own ignorance. You used the words "seem" and "think" prior to using the word "groundbreaking." What you're missing is the fact that you don't have a clue.
 
Re: Stepping Up To the Plate UPDATE for 9-14 NEW PICS

Thanks for the reply Tantrum.

OK, I read it all. Still dont see any big breakthrough. Two years and no product. Good luck!

Hot brass,
I'm not exactly certain what the point of your post is, but the reason I haven't posted detailed info is because my conversion and my rimfire action differs greatly from what others have attempted. I don't find it necessary to go any further here because Tantrum has covered my remaining point of view.

Thanks for your post.

Thanks J and I'll get pics up ASAP.

The Model 605 design is complete and aside from the patents being squared away, I'm working on the manufacturing process. My plan is to build a few rifles for testing and publish pics of everything when the design is protected.

Well the new S&B 3-20x50 is coming out after over two years of hype too. I doubt people that have been waiting will be disappointed. And last time I checked, it will still be a scope with aluminum, glass, knobs, and everything else other scopes have.

Some people demand quality, recognize quality, and are patient enough to wait for it. I see you are not one of these people.
