    Butt plate adapter is in. Have to do durability testing on it. Mag well is roughed out. I really need a set of mag bodies for AICS and AWM to start development on those.

    Okie dokie, Dukie. Pic time... Keep in mind this is a developmental unit, not even a prototype, so it's not supposed to be pretty. My M2 is taking a real licking with all the fiberglass and carbon fiber bits that are flying around. Passenger side Driver side And, passenger side with the mag...

    First batch of cheek risers is progressing through finish operations. I'm working on the 2nd version of replacement stocks for the poverty ponies among us, this is being done from fiberglass and using a much less refined manufacturing process (I'm using industrial methods and equipment for the...

    UPDATE: I’ve broken the back of the last of the known/foreseen problems with getting carbon fiber stocks made as direct replacements. The technical challenges are numerous, and for the individual wanting to make just one they are essentially insurmountable. So far I have put enough money into...

    Heading to my CF consultant today. He’s got my first set of (alpha version) stock bits going into the vacuum today. This version is going to be quite a bit heavier than the original by a good bit but still super light for the rigidity provided. Does anyone have any damaged AI pattern mags that...

    @DirtyDirty130 I feed 55's through mine all the time without issue. I suspect it's nothing to do with your tenon and everything to do with the mag retention system and slop in the mag well. Push forward on the rear lower end of the mag while pushing the bolt forward. If the thing feeds smoothly...

    WTB WTB: DTA SAC 223 Conversion Kit

    I have a full kit with 24" barrel, bolt and 3x mags. I'm a little loathe to part with it but kinda need the ducats at the moment. If you're still looking, LMK and we can chat a bit. I know I'll punch myself in the nuts for selling it but a man's gotta blah blah and all.

    Upgrade completed. Apparently paypal isn't a valid payment method anymore. I just came back from Africa after deleting all my American banking so I had to get new accounts and cards here in the States. @jbrand11 @Jrtex @secondofangle2 ^^^ PM me details of how high you want your cheek piece and...

    I'm happy to make one for you. Let me upgrade my membership again so I don't run afoul of the rules by posting a price. Anyone else that wants one, LMK. It takes me about 3 hours to make 1 of them but I get efficiency gains with more than one. Cost would be nicely under $100 shipped and I...

    Started work on something new. The factory cheek rest doesn't go high enough for me so I made one from carbon fiber. This is a quick and dirty R&D unit. I'm trying to create a replacement for the stock itself now. I have some improvements to the factory model I'm trying to implement like AR-15...

    Night Vision Is there such a thing as an LWIR rangefinder?

    Yes. A LRF that emits a beam which is visible in that wavelength.

    /me eyes a 15000 grit oil stone which has taunted me for years with utter contempt and accepts my M2's normally glass rod break with occasionally erratic creep and factory setting of all the pounds because the skins are just too much of a hassle to remove. Yes. I am what most would call lazy. I...

    Hmmm. I mean, if you already bought the ticket and took the ride, it's probably the wrong time to complain to customer service. Just 'sayin. I'm talking about the girlfriend, obviously, not the rifle. :ROFLMAO:

    Night Vision Is there such a thing as an LWIR rangefinder?

    I have SWIR covered but that does nothing for using a thermal. Is there such a thing as a thermal compatible LRF? Discuss. I did google. I did search. It wasn't super helpful.

    Big Magnum Revolver, what is just right?

    Wouldn't that be called an Anaconda? My goldfish memory might be failing me but I think that's what those are called.

    .45-70 derringer. If you're that into self-abuse and induced wrist pain, it should do you fine without weighing too much.

    ES Tactical ended up sending me a barrel that was meant to be in-stock so long after I ordered it that I thought it was a barrel I'd ordered from another outfit because it had been so long that I'd forgotten, with my goldfish memory, that I'd even ordered it. IIRC they were moving or some other...

    Hey, I’ve got 139rds of Prime 300gr stuck in the states. I’d be happy to make you a deal on it. Stored indoors in climate controlled conditions. Boxes were opened to dump it into my ammo can. All one lot.

    My move overseas has arrived ahead of schedule and with the stoppage of export permit issuance it looks like I'll have to sell my kit on this side and buy again on that side. I'll be putting the ad up in a few minutes but FYI, selling:
