So you actually shot one huh? I saw where you put the blame on me for sending you too many rifles. I'm glad to know it's all my fault. Typical.......

I have a set of Stocks on order from Tom Manners. Until they deliver them it's going to be a little up in the air. Over half of what were order is already spoken for. I'm looking forward to getting them. I do have one out with David Bahde for a review now. This one is going to be interesting to say the least.

A few more headed out. I barely had time to snap a photo of them before they went out.
260 Rem
There is another group on the back of the card that was .010. Brian was gone to the range for a long time and was licking his lips when he came back but I hate to speculate what really happened.
308 on a Mega set up. The 15 shot group was me pushing it pretty hard and hot to see if I could make her hickup a little.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
This was an interesting little project............I did this for one of our camera guys I meet a few years back. He wanted his little girl to be able to shoot this baby without getting her butt kicked. I made a special FB for her. Then I had to shorten his loading rod so it wasn't resting on the brake. Then I made him an extension so he had the proper length to load his bullets. Man you should see the blast on this puppy! It's absolutely hilarious. Smoke goes 30 ft in both directions. Hardly any smoke goes forward at all so now she can see what she hit as well. Recoil was pretty much nonexistent. Needless to say she was all smiles when she shot it. Here are the photos:

Jered,
Can you make me a few of the APA bolt knobs that will fit Surgeon bolts? I had Mark @ SAC call in for a few but he was told they were discontinued. I would like to preserve what is left of my knuckles, the Sentinel stocks on those pineapple style knobs are just not friendly!
Thanks.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
Instead of forcing people to use our knob we made an adapter that should fit anyone's bolt knob with the standard 5/16x24 thread.
The cost will be $20 for the adapter itself.
We have them ready to ship know but they won't be on the website until we finish the shipping upgrade we are currently doing.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
We sold everything we had. I might have an extra stock because we may order something different for one customer that wants an adjustable LOP. If so that will speed one of them up. We'll be ordering extra parts but we literally sold every extra build we had in the last two months. Current wait time will be around 7 months right now. I'm going to try and keep one in stock. To date I haven't been able to do that with anything.
