Tinkering with the sled design… I made a quick and dirty version that accepts a single round just like a standard magazine or one can just toss a round in. If I put a second mag catch notch in it then it could be used for single loading for stuff like load development and still have a known...- spamassassin

Major update... I got 3 SRS risers and 2 HTI risers into shippable form yesterday, so orders will ship Monday. I should have 3-4 more SRS risers by EOD today or maybe tomorrow depending on hose cooperative my horses are with the shoe-er. The good weather really helped with getting the units I...- spamassassin

Not yet. The painting has been a PITA with the weather being too cold to get a good finish which caused me to have to strip it and repaint a few times. We're in the middle of a warm spell so things have accelerated. I'm hoping to be done with all the pending orders this weekend. Apologies for...- spamassassin

All kinds of developments on the CF stocks. I've got the core form replication tooling finished, the exterior surface mold is being laid up as I type and the major design elements are pretty well settled. I've made a ton of changes from the factory stock that make it a lot easier to live with...- spamassassin

I make these for just such use cases. Carbon fiber, top shelf epoxy. I'm finishing up a batch now. If the weather would stay consistent for 2 days it would be easier. They weigh a bit less than OEM and are insanely strong. PM for details.- spamassassin

Catastrophe! My fiberglass model got broken. I made a stupid mistake when making a mold and destroyed it. I had lost sight of the goal though, which was to come up with the basic design and find all of the places that were going to bite me in the ass. So, it was a good thing to have happen. Now...- spamassassin

You just want a plug for the hole? I can cast/cut something like a rigid grommet easy as pie from plain epoxy, fiberglass reinforced epoxy, carbon fiber, forged carbon, Delrin, or kydex. I suppose I could make a screw-in plug that uses the upper part of the monopod body too. Then it wouldn’t...- spamassassin

Lots of things came together today. I’d been having some problems which were causing me to doubt my own greatness(🤣). However, after having my Marty McFly “I have a Time Machine!” moment I overcame the problems that had been plaguing me. Then, feeling my Wheaties, I went one better and solved...- spamassassin

Minor update. I got the mag release working. Building the little wall for the spring to buck up against was a bit of an exercise in problem solving. The depth has to be right, the screw hole has to be in the right spot in 3 dimensions, the angle of the dangle has to be right. Little things are a...- spamassassin

Looks like it wants an M-LOK slot. That actually tells me all I need to know. M-LOK is a known standard.- spamassassin

Giggle. The carbon fiber itself is as biodegraded as anything can get. The binder resin, that's not. I wonder if the bunny fuckers would notice though... I could start making bongs and shit out of bamboo-resin composite and call them "earth bongs" or something stupid. Betcha I'd make a mint. I...- spamassassin

Update Passenger side. Driver side. Again, this is a developmental model meant to get the shape and features figured out, not a production unit or even a prototype as such. It's ugly and the FG is not wonderfully void free on purpose. I got the grip boss started and thought, why not make it...- spamassassin

One sec.... Just in front of the chamber it's approximately 1.5" to the top of the rail. If you're using the measure for scope height and adding to the advertised height of the rings then use 1.4". NOTE: For scope height measurement, you don't need to go to the 2nd decimal place. Keep in mind...- spamassassin

Mag well and butt plate initial durability tests are done. The thing is wicked strong. Working on the area behind the mag and the trigger guard & pistol grip. The risers that are in production are moving along nicely. If good temperatures hold out they’ll be done this week.- spamassassin

Mag well and butt are affixed and hardening. Since this is not a production unit I'm not taking the time to let each stage properly cure. It was a ton easier to affix them to the base chassis than it was to fabricate the bits themselves. Sometime later today I'll pull the rifle action from the...- spamassassin

Testing my first rough whack at creating a mag well. The big tail on the back end of it is the back side of the mag release inlet. This was the quickest and dirtiest attempt that I could do so, yes, it looks like crap. More than anything I just wanted to see if I could get a decent fit to the...- spamassassin

I can deal with ITAR. From what I can see I can make a conversion for AI 338 mags. AICS 308 mags are DS/SF from what I recall so I can’t think of anything that would prevent it from working but it would require adapters which adds to the tolerance stacking problem. As a practical matter it’s...- spamassassin
