    Latest: Tuned M700 Heavy Tac Rifle in MK248 Mod 1, also known as a 300 Win Mag...

    The idea behind the cartridge is emulated 338 Lapua Magnum performance (250 grain Scenar) in a standard magnum bolt face configuration. An extra 3.5 rounds per pound carried by the user is an added plus. -Squirrel teams love their bullets!

    We recently began manufacturing our own M16 extractors. With Magnums there is always the risk of the ejection angle causing the case to hit the optic. Dual "snake eye" ejectors resolves this. This is nothing new, it's been done for years by others. No appreciable risk of increasing the wear and tear on brass although this particular rifle is the "real deal" so it's a fire and forget scenario. I don't think they do brass calls yet in combat, but I'm sure the Marine Corps has entertained it at least once, lol. (Semper Fi!)

    Next is our new HD flush cup setup. Light weight stocks are always in demand and the consequence is there isn't a whole lot to bond a FC to properly. So, we solved that. Now its more like a screwed "rivet". Captures the opposite side for retention. So, you have to darn near turn your stock inside out in order to rip this thing apart. A good thing. Operators are not known to be kid gloved... :)

    Last, our new lugged/clip slotted optic base for the M700 Long Action. Near as I can tell, no one has ever taken the time to develop this. Not a big deal in terms of the "woo hoo" scale, but it does ensure the darn thing never comes loose in the field.

    The rest is our usual stuff. Timed/Tig'd bolt, fluting muzzle work, barrel work, our ULTACH hardware, Kalli's killer paint work, pinned recoil lug, and the pillar bedding work we strive to do as best we can.

    Perty nice rifle all in all. Hopefully it keeps the good guys from ending up in a permanent horizontal status.

    As with all of our builds. We do the most we possibly can in house. No subbing your parts all over the country, no excuses. It starts and ends here in this shop. What this does is streamline the process and if something isn't right, I'm to answer for it. One chef, one kitchen. When we have a problem I can't solve, I source the asset required and bring it under our roof. A professional business atmosphere being the desired intent, not hobby time...

    Thanks for lookin!
