Release date was originally slated for this spring though spring has come and gone & now we are inching in to fall.

They have a mini in a nice lightweight stock, but no signs of a bottom metal solution. They’d be money ahead to buy the design from Wayne at Oregunsmithing. May need to source a higher volume producer to keep up with their volume, but that should be an easy problem to solve. Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

Leaning towards the former as I want to use a rail. Pretty much a toss-up cost-wise. What fresh Hell is this?

Such as smooch magfed 88's and 90 Beer Cans. Hint. The rail and plastic,really compromising the 223 most. Hint................

This is gonna be more of a lightweight walking around gun for Grandpa, like my Grendel. Last edited by Pappy348; 09/13/22. What fresh Hell is this?

Hint. It really could give a schit less if it's a 10' shot,or 1000yds++,because mechanically,it is ALL there. None of that is a "fluke" and I ASSURE you,that you won't be reaching for another rifle. Hint. Hint................. Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.
