Underground Skunkworks is proud to announce a new precision Rimfire Bolt action. Finished actions will be available within the next two months and will be offered as complete actions with trigger and one magazine, a barreled action with choice of contour, finished rifles or Integrally Suppressed Tactical packages. Complete rifles will carry a 1/2 MOA or better guarantee. High quality synthetic stocks will also be offered as well and pricing info will be available soon. To get on the list early, shoot me an e-mail or PM. I will also be offering a group buy when the actions become available.
<span style="font-weight: bold">The latest update sent out via PM Blast is as follows:</span>
Underground Skunkworks will be offering two versions of the Precision Rimfire Action. The Model 323 is a smaller precision action that will be offered as a complete action (with trigger and bottom metal), a barreled action, a complete custom rifle and an integrally suppressed rifle package. The rifle built on the Model 323 is intended for shooting on the move and practicing field expedient positions. There will, of course, be a LE and Military version. I'm working with Tom Manners to do a MCS-T style stock.
The second action, the Model 605, is a true-to-scale Remington 700 size action that uses a 40X style bolt. This is a serious precision action for true to scale trainers and LE/Military use. The Model 605 is intended to fit any Remington 700 SA stock, uses any Remington style trigger, has a Remington 700 bottom metal footprint and the bottom metal will accept a detachable magazine. I can't advertise yet which magazine I'm using, but I think you guys will appreciate the accomplishment. The 605 will be offered as a complete action (includes trigger, bottom metal, recoil lug and Pic rail), complete barreled action and complete custom build. Both actions will have an optional Picatinny rail.
More details on the Model 605 will be available soon but as it stands right now, the DBM Bottom Metal for the rotary magazine is in prtotypical stage and the DBM Bottom Metal for the five shot single stack will follow. There are no other details on the Model 605 that I can release just yet, but I will be updating here more often as the projects move forward. Thanks guys and let me know if you have any questions....

Underground Skunkworks Model 323 Rimfire Rifle Specifications
The Underground Skunkworks Model 323 is a Precision Rimfire Rifle that is manufactured to very exacting standards, the very same Underground Skunkworks Set of Standards as our Custom Precision Centerfire Rifles, sharing the
lineage of our RECON .308 and the Skunkworks Precision Rifle. The Model 323 is a light weight and compact precision rimfire that is great for training, hunting and there is also a Law Enforcement package. The Model 323 specifications are:
Action Type: Precision Bolt Action, Magazine Fed, Three Locking Lugs

Ejection: Fixed
Trigger: Fully Adjustable, Single Stage

Available Barrel Lengths: 18, 20, 22, and 24” (22” is Standard)
18” Integral Suppressed Barrel is Available, All NFA Rules Apply
Available Calibers: 17M2, 22LR, 17HMR, 22WMR
Ask us about our proprietary 22LR Skunkworks Match chamber

<span style="font-weight: bold">NEW UPDATE (05/24/2010)</span>
I've finally reached the point that I can start barreling actions for the Model 323. The first six rifles will be a mix of 22 LR "Skunkworks" Match and 22WMR. Three of the six will be Integrally Suppressed, and of those three that are suppressed, one will be a 22WMR. All six will be RB/RP, Chromoly Receiver with Stainless (airgauged) Broughton Match Barrel. I will have one Model 323HB (barrel length of 18" and a muzzle diameter of .750"), two Model 323LW (barrel length of 18" with a muzzle diameter of .625"), and three Model 323S (18" integrally suppressed barrel).
After I finish the barreled actions, I'll be traveling with one of each to Nth Kansas City to meet with Tom Manners so we can record measurements for the stock mold. The Model 323 stock will be based on the MCS-T. Once the design is completed, Tom will churn out a few stocks and the first six protos will be finished.
The finish options for the barreled action will be Black, OD Green and Dark Earth and the same colors will be available for the stocks. When ordering a rifle, the items to specify will be caliber (22LR, 17M2, 17HMR and 22WMR), barrel length (18, 20, and 22"), barrel contour (HB, LW or Suppressed), right or left hand, finish colors of barreled action and stock, Picatinny Rail with Rings or Two Piece Base with Rings and Skunkworks Cheek Pad.
Currently, I'm not planning to do other stocks for the Model 323 until production is up and running smoothly. Adjustments to options and custom features will be available as the additional developments are accomplished. If there are other options you would like to see, shoot me an e-mail and and I'll add them to the list. If you're interested in a one off Custom 323, send me the details and it can be done, but Custom builds will take a little longer and personalized serial numbers will be available for Custom builds.
I'll be offering a group buy here on SH with a price of $2395 for Broughton barreled rifles and $2195 for rifles with the new Skunkworks Rimfire Match Barrel. MSRP is $2595 and $2395 respectively.
Both rifles will carry an accuracy guarantee of 1/2 MOA at 75 yards with Match ammo. I plan to post photos of the completed barreled actions as soon as I get them completed.
Thanks and contact me anytime with any questions you may have...
