Good morning.
Have been conversing with Mike on some of this.
I am in a position to work with him on a similar project as the last collaboration using the SENTINEL combat stocks built to Tac-Ops specs but I am not in a position to commit anything Zealot related yet.
I do not take it lightly when Mike or any other custom builder asks for my involvement. It is a big deal to me because if I fuck up anything with my work or any KMW component falls short, that would be a mark against the other partner in the collaboration.
I also have to remember that Mike does NOT usually build any of his masterpieces on a chassis. That is pretty much blasphemy and heresy in his lane. So, it is a huge vote of confidence for Mike to even consider the Zealot. Such things have historically been out of his comfort zone. So again, I would not take this invitation lightly.
If we move in the direction of a chassis on a Tac-Ops rifle, everything (EVERYTHING) needs to be right on my end. It is not quite to the level I want yet, but I am working hard in that direction. The final refinements on the Zealot chassis were already a priority simply because it is my livelihood and my own reputation. I now have yet another reason to keep it as a priority.
Thank you all for the positive feedback.
I want to be a good partner to Mike in bringing you a solid finished product that performs as well as it looks and one that you will be proud to hand down to your kids or grandkids.
Everybody have a safe week.
