I'd be down for a 7-08 or 6.5x55 with a 22" fluted barrel stock color doesn't matter I'll paint my in earth, but I would like a custom LOP (shortened). Engraved with a small fire logo and would be fine. (thanks for putting this together)

Nope. Tomorrow. We couldn't hook up on the phone today. OK, is this proof of the old saying that tomorrow never comes? In this timeline tomorrow was yesterday and the day after is now today I think, so if we now wait until tomorrow what day are we looking at??!  Anyway, we are waiting as patiently as true rifle loonies can.

Guys,
There has been a hang up in the process. I spoke with MRC again Tuesday as promised. Here's the deal....
The mold isn't finished yet for the short action stocks. When I spoke with them at SHOT, they told me they didn't have it together yet and it should be done any time. Everyone involved expected it to be delivered before now. The guys at MRC are jumping up and down for the mold! As you can imagine, it's costing them money every day the stock is delayed.
When Larry and I spoke Tuesday, he asked if I'd entertain a long action on the first run -- then a short action on the second.
Honestly, I'm in mental limbo right now. If there is any interest in an immediate long action offering, feel free to chime in.
We're still on board (both me and MRC) to offer exclusive runs. I'm trying to decide if we wait until the mold arrives or proceed with a long action offering.
Thoughts?

Proceed with the LA.
When the short action stock mold arrives then announce it.

If MRC thinks they will have the stock in the next week or so, I would wait.
If not, a long action now would be nice. If you can find a way to trim the rifle down a little and offer a fun caliber, I would be interested and think it will sell well.
Maybe a faster twist 6.5-284 or 6.5-06 in a lighter rifle
If the weight will be in the 7s than maybe a 35 whalen or 338-06

I second the idea of lightening the rifle just a bit. I would be interested in a 6.5-06 as well if one were built, or a .280AI

shortactionsmoker,
Thanks for the update.
While I'd probably be unable to resist a 280 Rem, I think we should wait for the short action.

I understand waiting for the mold to get here to get started, but can the pricing and specifications of the rifle get worked out while we wait?
