Been a long week already, had to drive to Texas for a meeting. On the way home I stopped by Ray Perry's place in Bridge City and picked up my freshly completed rifle. It's been roughly 8 weeks since I dropped it off!

7" twist Hart Barrel finished at 21". New barrel is a shade heavier, rifle picked up 0.2 pounds. Magazine box extended to 2.55". Rifle was bedded, trigger breaking clean at 2 pounds. Rifle will reliably feed and eject fired 223AI brass.

Just got it home tonight, won't be able to shoot it till next weekend. Obviously haven't done any load work for it, but the 2.43" 75grn amax dummies I made for my Ruger 223 feed and chamber fine - not sure where the fire form loads will be length wise yet. Have 1000 80grn JLK's and 1000 88grn ELD's waiting on this rifle, can't wait to get it shooting and hopefully kill something with it this year!
