Put sides on it and you'll have a bunker in your shop.

 

[Abrakadabra338]

That bigger receiver right there. That Bluish/Purplish it should be. I could conceal myself nicely while picking blueberries.

@THEIS .....looking really good!

I’m very interested to feel how that grip works with the angle you’ve cut. Ergo tactical deluxe is my go to grip, but it usually at 45 so using it at almost a 90 degree should be interesting.

Hi,

To me it feels really good by putting trigger finger in better position for my hands/fit, BUT that is why there are about 6 rifles being sent out for independent assessments instead of just going off what I like because it is easy to be tunnel visioned when the product is your own.

[Steel head]

I’m running the newer straight ergo on my 260.
it’s pretty nice.
the angle on the Hoplite should make the regular ergo similar.

Yer killin’ me Smalls!

I’m also partial to the OD one on the left. Very nice!

 

[LawnMM]

Doesnt altering the typical A2 grip angle on the chassis negate a lot of grips orienting properly?

Looking forward to a full rifle photo ?

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

Barrels on...

 

[M77]

Hi,

Hi,

We actually do not because OSHA is making us seal and install vacuum system on one of the machines that we now have to "dedicate" to machining the Sentinel.....I now it is absolutely BS because shops machine/inlet fiberglass stocks all day without such. My safety guy is pulling all the regulations/requirements/restrictions right now.

But by the time @Dthomas3523 hands off his 6GT reamer we will be finalized the Sentinel situation.

Hi,

Ok, so here is something totally random and unplanned, lol..

So I think I will do a bolt action pistol with brace and slightly shorter barrel than this 18in and make it my Trunk Monkey model..no handguard but just as this one is.

Sincerely,
Theis

 

[Abrakadabra338]

Oh my. I haven’t seen my blueberry 338 Lapua Mag qualify yet ?
Wait, maybe it goes in a matching color case and they still coating the case.

That’s interesting!
Texas suppositories?

 

[W54/XM-388]

Are the projectiles lubricated with the tears of liberals when seated into the cases?

 

[Abrakadabra338]

Nanopolymer coated?

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

Those are not the nano....that is entirely different beast altogether.

Would rather not have to check as luggage.

[b6graham]

[Steel head]

Hoplite T-shirts?

 

[Abrakadabra338]

Blueberry gun inside. Case color is a just a distraction.

 

[ELR researcher]

Hi,

@goosed
Triggers, Triggers, Triggers..LOLOL...they sure do cause a lot of "triggered" reactions .

We did not attempt to reinvent the trigger wheel at all. We purposely sought out a trigger design that we felt paired with our thought concept of the receiver and built the receiver to function with that trigger.

I personally hate roll pins in anything, especially when installing a trigger..so that ruled lots of designs out.

All Hoplite Arms rifles utilize the Timney Howa 1500 trigger.
Single screw mount.
Easy weight adjustment.
Effective safety mechanism.
Proven sear engagement design.

Sincerely,
Theis

Is a R700 hanger or direct mount going to be an option?

I might be missing it but @THEIS

"I personally hate roll pins in anything, especially when installing a trigger..so that ruled lots of designs out. "

Unless there are different ways to attach a R700 trigger other than pins...im thinking a big no

could be wrong though

Terminus uses screws not pins

 

[brianf]

Terminus uses screws not pins

my gut says attachment using pin/pin screw horizontal through receiver are not the preferred method rather than 1-2 screws from the bottom
