Now I'm interested. What will it require?

Hi,

Single Allen wrench; think 3rd grade level simplicity for keeping the barrel from rotating while preserving action strength and thread rigidity. (We keeping you Army gurus in mind, lol) :)

Sincerely,
Theis

Hi,

We make no qualms about NOT having any desire to compete in the race to the bottom in regards to costs. There are enough manufacturers and builders in the industry participating on that race. We wish them well; just not our cup of cognac.

Sincerely,
Theis

@THEIS

What is the shortest barrel length that clears the muzzle threads from the for-end?

Think I'm going to Form 1 this system, but at the same time I want to avoid hacksawing the hand-guard. Possible to get two separate lengths without causing more headaches?

SBR for short action stuff.. the 375 Swiss P will get all the length.

Hi,

And how did I know that was going to come up from you, lolol???

Current handguard is 18" long BUT the greatest thing about dimensions....easier to shorten than to lengthen.
I have better hacksaw than you do so I am thinking you want 14" handguard with your short action conversion kit?

Don't forget to email me those export questions you have :)

Theis

Just great, no sooner am I all set to be excited for getting the first one, but you have to go make the platform so amazing that now I'm going to probably have to part with a couple AI rifles and other stuff because well one Aspis and eventually one Phalanx is just not going to be enough.

I'm probably not going to be happy until I have at least two of the Aspis rifles as well as at least one Phalanx rifles.
Plus of course I'm going to have to get a bunch of barrels and bolts and magazines and that to have nice complete kits that shoot everything...

This is going to get expensive quick HA!

I'm kind of worried (or rather my Barrett M107A1 should be) that the Phalanx is going be so awesome, I'm going to have to sell even more stuff to afford 2 of them as well.

Thinking a 14.5" barrel would be ideal, but could avoid the hassle by pinning a muzzle brake. Ideally the bridge would have enough room to clear a shorty optic for clip-on tools.

Yep - I owe you an email. 🍻

O shit, I mean to purchase from your connections, lol

Oh --do you mean actually embroidered on a track suit for sale in the Hoplite store section?
I'm sure that could be arranged because at least the frog is only a few colors... and so should embroider ok.

Hi,

This was one of the most enjoyable quotes sent out today, lol...

Look closely and you can see the benefit and joy of what a real customer journey can look like 😀.

The personal connection and relationship built upon the journey is more valuable than any product because it is the only way to get more product out into the wild.

Sincerely,
Theis

Hi,

We agree. What is funny is that I accidentally left off the left half of his cerakote request and it is the best part.
The original request from customer was custom cerakote job that is "Slicker than owl shit and more radical than ISIS", lolol

Sincerely,
Theis

Hi,

And that is what friends are for, lol....Because I made a mistake on his quote yesterday and put 338LM and he signed off on it, lol......But I went back through emails and was my mistake but I just sent email for which 338 confirmation, hahaha

Sincerely,
Theis

He's my Son, heck of a shooter. Dings the mile pretty consistent with his 223 and 88s. The 338 we'll be using to compare to is the one Randy Wise set an ELR World record with. It's all stock except for the chassis and should be a good gun to compare with. Same conditions, two shooters or maybe more. Looking forward to seeing results.
