Look, I don’t care if she has Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes; if the rest of a woman looks like a Picasso painting I’m not interested with a BAC below .12 and a year in prison
Think Remington xm2010. I want the folder to capture the bolt. This will make for a more compact package when transporting. The bolt knob doesn’t stick out past the folded stock
That would definitely help; I was more thinking something like this, along with appropriate chamfering of edges.
Hi,
Bolt handle is capable of moving up/down but it will not cock or open.

Hi,
Raw metal, 3 lug cycling....
Once the entire bolt assembly, interior receiver body and trigger get the metal treatment it should smoothen up a little.

Hi,
Got a couple messages about how does the buttstock fold, lock and unfold.
A flush spring loaded push button operates the latching mechanism that allows the buttstock to swing on its' hinge.
It locks and unlocks by manual push/pull.

Hi,
Disassembly and Reassembly of bolt in right over 30 seconds even with the chamber indicator not acting right for me, lol

your solution would make it impossible to turn the lock 180 degrees for the left hand
Understood. Maybe the other options would be to either:
1) add the material to the "top" chassis section to fill in the sharp edge
2) add the material to the AR grip tang section
Hi,

Things that had to be held and eyeball visual to get an understanding of why/why not something is there, lolol

Hi,
@brianf
First one is:
Chassis-Type III Hard Anodized Black
Complete bolt assembly (Interior, springs, etc), receiver interior and trigger-Special metal treatment (Not nitride either, lol) rather than coating...Black
Exterior receiver-PVD DLC, probably black but honestly if coating company calls today and says can get in next PVD DLC batch but color is orange...well it will be orange.
@Lapuapalooza
Press release is in the works right now. Really pushing to announce at New Years celebration but that is dependent on getting this one from coating to Tooley for new alloy LH Gain from Bartlein put on and sent out for independent testing.
Edited To Add:
Production department at coating/treatment has unboxed my stuff

So just in time for those wondering what to do with any money left over at the end of the year.....
Hi,
Easy there.......
Just to clear any misconceptions, lol.
There will be only 1 person with Aspis by Christmas and that is dependent on how fast coating and barrel completed.
BUT BUT..with that being said.
I do intend to release cost and expected delivery schedule with deposit information before Christmas.
With us going over to the new Bartlein alloy in LH Gain twist the delivery schedule is fluid at the moment until we get a better understanding/gauge on what barrel specifications we need to stock more of in terms of---Jacketed or Monolithic desires.
Even though we are a production rifle company and not a full blown custom building company. I absolutely understand that we have to offer barrel specifications to suit our customers projectile desires. Even though I personally only want the 7 twist LH Gains in everything, lol.

Theis
Sign me up for a 300 Norma.
Never messed with solids so I’m ordering what ever you guys suggest for Berger’s.
when that barrel is done, it’s being sent back for a 300 Norma barrel with the intent of pushing solids..hard

I am just going to start saving my money now, for your high pressure chamber, 2-part cases, and Cobalt rifling insert.
This is so far beyond bad ass. Way to take everything to the next level (and probably more).
I will probably never be able to afford one of your rifles but non the less, it is the most interesting thing going in the precision rifle world right now.
If anyone would ask me.

Hi,
So we have had a few meetings today and wanted to run a couple things by the group.
The Aspis will be the first for order/production.
With that; we are looking at the following barrel/cartridge combinations and would like to know what selection those of you that are serious in regards to purchasing would choose.
Option 1:
300 NM, Left Hand Gain Twist with exit of 7twist, ModBB Alloy, 27" MTU. This is for monolithics.
Option 2:
300 NM, Left Hand Gain Twist with exit of 9twist, ModBB Alloy, 27" MTU. This is for jacketed.
Option 3:
338 NM, Left Hand Gain Twist with exit of 7twist, ModBB Alloy, 27" MTU. This is for monolithics.
Option 4:
338 NM, Left Hand Gain Twist with exit of 9twist, ModBB Alloy, 27" MTU. This is for jacketed.
Option 5:
338 LM, Left Hand Gain Twist with exit of 7twist, ModBB Alloy, 27" MTU. This is for monolithics.
Option 6:
338 LM, Left Hand Gain Twist with exit of 9twist, ModBB Alloy, 27" MTU. This is for jacketed.

Later on I'd also be interested in the barrel upgrades for your high pressure 7mm ammo and .338 ammo when available.
Hi,
If someone would have asked me yesterday which offering I thought would be the most wanted...It would be #2 even though I prefer #1 for the 300NM.
Jacketed projectiles can only be pushed to a certain point, lol.....That is like putting weed eater fuel in Porsche, hahaha
Sincerely,
Theis
Hi,
Ahh YES the HP!!! I seriously may have to start turning my own brass due to supplier delivery times.
Sincerely,
Theis
Hi,
O man....the metal and engineering guru just let me down with #2 as first option. lololol
Next your gonna ask me to nitride coat something huh??? LOLOL
Sincerely,
Theis
Well, it’s easy, I don’t have a reloading setup yet because I’d rather buy once and ain’t nobody got nothing for sale, and Prime only sells 300NM ammo with jacketed bullets
If it makes you feel better, I have a 1:10-1:6 LHGT 300/308 30” barrel blank sitting in my closet... that’s also waiting on said reloading setup to exist.
Since you’re taking requests, I *do* want my cheek rest and bag rider to be nitrided. For the aesthetic.
