My next venture: Ti base for the XM-3
- Thread starter LRI
- Start date
Yes, there will be repro XM3 recoil lugs!
In case anyone is curious about the authenticity of the XM3 parts that Chad currently has on hand, rest easy knowing that he's taking apart my original USMC XM3. Here it is lounging around on Chad's couch:

XM3 titanium base is now fully modeled. Here is an assembly file of it plopped onto an action.
I'll make a couple out of steel or 7075 just to check the fit before I turn the machine loose on 6AL4V. The hard part is over, now its just proramming.

Planning on offering an add on to the clip-slotting service to engrave the receiver SN on the base like the real ones?
This looks great, I had all but given up on the idea of putting together a XM-3 clone. Maybe not anymore. @LongRifles Inc. Can you do the clip slot cut on a left hand 700 receiver?

These guys make engraving magical.
I thought I was asking for the impossible with my engraving.
Got an LRI update stating “We are starting the engraving. Is this what you want?”
“Yes that is what I want”
I thought my next LRI update would be a week later.
That afternoon. Done.
