That really is amazing, glad to see you're posting about it again.

In case you ever need a place to store that thing, I've got plenty of room.  Offer is always open.

It's not finished yet, I just got the external machining done on the barrels & mocked it up for these photos. The barrels still need to be chambered, crowned, have the extractor slots cut, and be parkerized. After that I still need to finish the bolts, firing pins, install extractors, etc., etc. Then I have to make it all work, this is a long term project for sure.

Glad to see you back at it. It should be good therapy. I'm waiting on another order, then I'll get a book out to you as promised.

Welcome back brother, glad you decided to continue work on this. Probably the best motivational post I've seen in a while, & I need to get back in the saddle.

That might be a giant can o' root beer for all we know.

But, seriously. It is a .22, right? Wonder how fast you can go through a brick

That is an impressive piece of work....when do you build a Cobra gunship to strap that under the chin?  


And any chance you are going to start working on some of your old parts like 607 stock components again?

Thanks for the kind words. Maybe someday I'll start making more retro goodies, but not in the foreseeable future.
