This question has more merit than one would initially attribute. Our industry has become infamous for showing product that they then never deliver,
The gun is designed for the civilian market. I anticipate sales to shops such as Cabellas as well as our dealers throughout the US. As mentioned I see this as a hunting rig, so the current work is to look at the weight budget and see where the perfect trade off lies between weight and recoil in the final rifle. Accuracy is a huge part of the balance. My project milestones are to complete final weapon fixturing and production route documentation by mid 4th quarter and then enter moderate scale production for start of 2014. Batches will start at 100 units and the frequency will determine delivery rate. We are initially committed to a 550 unit total run. It has been interesting after all these years to stand in a workshop full of special tools and find that you effectively have nothing more than the simple stuff. Even benches and racks are too short. Pins have to be inserted with a hammer and punch. Got two loading machines though. Thought I was going to get killed by the accounts.
From NRA I would suspect that we will go straight from a modest stock to a backorder position. I am perhaps not as brave as I should be with the production commitments.
