Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Sorry, I don't. I am just getting back from lunch now and will be finishing engraving another 20 that will go to Teflon by Friday.

Keeping my fingers crossed too! It has been a long wait!

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Yay, I should have my final payment off this week or next.

Now I just need to save up for a receiver and barrel!

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Becky said mine was one of these...
Can't wait. Been a long trip for this and the rifle.
Worst wait is that the scope is going to the builder for final fitting and trial before coming home to me. I wasn't in a hurry for either, so I figured this would be the best bet.

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Mine shipped. Must be some on here that are happy.
Can't wait. Few more must be tracking.

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

We have another batch being assembled right now. They should ship beginning of next week.

For all of you with custome serial numbers, they are in the next batch. These should be out in about three weeks.

Charles Colton observed in, I think, Lacon, Volume 1, that "Imitation is the sincerest of flattery."

He also observed that, "Great minds had rather deserve contemporaneous applause, without obtaining it, than obtain, without deserving it; if it follow them, it is well, but they will not deviate to follow it. With inferior minds the reverse is observable; so that they can command the flattery of knaves while living, they care not for the execrations of honest men, when dead."

Lacon, or, "Many Things in Few Words."

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

MCM-
I am almost 100% positive that your custom number is already being assembled. If so that you should have this coming week. I will check as soon as I get to the shop.

41-hugh?

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

BIG BUMP!!!
Anyone else what to show their new scopes?
Must be a few. Curious as to how they ended up.

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Still paying for mine.

 

[SIERRAWHISKEY]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Mine is done and should be inbound soon.

 

[Ts1]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

MST-100 to be here this Wed. GAP rifle completed and shipping soon. I love it when a plan comes together! Will post pics soon.

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Thankfully I still don't have a mount or action or I would be going crazy.

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Yay!!! last payment today!

She's all paid up, but since I took so long, one of you rat-bastards has my scope. Enjoy it.

I should have a new one in a couple weeks according to Becky.

No big deal since I still don't have anything to mount it on. I wonder how an MST would look on my 40x in a Return stock?

you need to make that happen man, fast...
in other words, i know you already did it, now get the pics up asap

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Just got my tracking number! I should have my MST-100 by the 16th!

When I was talking to them I forgot to ask about an ETA on the mounts. That would build a fire under my butt to locate a receiver.

 

[merlinnnn]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

FedEx just delivered mine yesterday, Yahoo. It was mounted on a rig I bought here on the Hide. Very early production, I had a question about it, Jeff said send it in, checked, adjusted and returned in one week. Great service!!

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Just arrived today. My wife just rolled her eyes as my son sung "Hallelujah" while I opened the box.

Pics to come.

It's bittersweet because it was already dark when I got home and the parallax is too close to see anything inside.

 

[OFIS]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

whoops, i forgot to read that you hadnt gotten it yet in all the excitement.

im dealing with my own USO purgatory of paid up and waiting to receive as well.

I hear ya! Paid up in full when I first ordered over a year ago.... received my Spec build from George last spring.... Recieved my scope about 3 weeks ago..... Still waiting on my clip slotted base.... It is supposed to be out to coating right now.... Man I cant wait!

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Yup, waiting on the base, but if the 40x arrives I may just have to buy a redfield base and rings and get it mounted up!

 

[allenst65]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Just put this up in the mount group buy thread as well, but Becky just called saying my mount was ready and she wanted to know if I would pick it up (I'm local) or if she should ship it. I can't make it there due to scheduling, so it should be here early next week. Not sure if these are all done in a group or pieced out as with the scopes, but hopefully things are moving now.

Cheers!

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Thanks for the heads up.

Guess I need to look for a six digit or "C" receiver. I have almost all of the other parts.

 

[JBW3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

There are only a couple of mounts that were from the last batch. The new batch of mounts will be ready in a few months.

Are you still accepting mount orders? If so I will send funds. BTW I need a MST-100 too.

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Even though I only used a Unertl the MST brings back memories.

Thanks John for making this last run!

 

[chad3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Glad you finally have it in hand.
Pretty good feeling isn't it?

[RMPSTRAT]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

LoneWolf, I'm pretty sure I have a C prefixed barrelled action at the shop, I'll confirm when I get there today

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Thanks

 

[merlinnnn]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

I have an early production scope, it does not have that "button" on the bottom. Do you now what it is?

merlinn

 

[RMPSTRAT]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

now that would be an interesting one to have just from a collection standpoint. Nice!

 

[chad3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Wasn't that when they had to go in to swap springs to the new style for either the 50BMG or the 30 degree bases.
Just rings a bell.

 

[RMPSTRAT]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

it was the retrofit for the A3 30MOA bases

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: chad3</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wasn't that when they had to go in to swap springs to the new style...</div></div>

IIRC it's to install the erector spring. I believe the Unertl used a leaf spring. The MST uses coil. Maybe the early model MST's still used a leaf spring. I am sure John will be along to enlighten us soon.

I like this one better without the button on the bottom. Can someone explain the purpose of that? I think I have an idea but I just want to make sure that its correct. Thanks.

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

See my post above yours.

 

[JBW3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Yes, the plug is for a coil spring for the erector. This was a mod that we did when we refurbished for the USMC.
