Nothing, components are too far out, it will be "built" in 2015 haha. Thanks Obama.

Hell Jcub, the way McMillan works, It will be 2015 before mine done

1. 700 BDL SS with 22" factory sporter contour King bbl in 358Win in a McMillan. Bevan King is doing the work.

2. Model Seven SS with 21" recontoured to MR Rem factory SS 7/08 bbl into a McMillan M7 Edge Rem Custom Shop pattern. Bill Leeper is doing that one.

The great thing about my projects is that I'm never under any pressure to complete them. This is a good thing because every year see about the same number completed (0). I don't really count simple re-barrels since I change barrels and calibers fairly often. So when I re-barrel my 308 Norma to 338 Win Mag, it doesn't mean much since it could be a 308 Norma again tomorrow. Like wise, putting a new barrel on an action to switch from "F" open to F/TR doesn't mean much either.
I do have some in the works, however. I have gone so far as to fit the barrel on the Ruger No.1 action and chamber it to 30/303Epps. This will be one of my mountain rifles for next fall's sheep season.
Another which has seen some progress is the Model 54 Winchester which will be a 256 Newton. The metal work is aboutdone. I have started whittling on the stock and hope to have it ready to show this spring.
The Remington Model 30 in 358 Norma is chambered and the Myrtlewood has been seasoning for about ten years now so I should get at that one too.
The 7x57 "F" class, built on a Hall action, will be ready to start testing next month.
In order to give my own projects the attention they deserve, I'm going to have to stop taking on any more work from customers. Nothing wrong with a little selfishness! GD

30x50 garage with mancave.........

I think I'm going to build a 358 Hoosier for a specialized deer rifle here in Indiana. Shortened 358 Win case down to 1.800".
Rem 700 SA, Douglas 3 or 4 contour barrel, McMillan stock that I'll pick up here on the campfire sometime this spring...

This will be my first build ever.

280 AI.

Just ordered the bbl today.
Bartlein #3 5R 1-9 twist 24" finished
H-S precision stock off of my 06
Action will be trued up and bedded in the H-S.
When I get the bbl and the rest of the $$$

Sounds similar to mine, but different stocks.

This was the first, and maybe only build in 2014

Ditching the WSSMs?

Might "loan" it to a friend...

Gotcha! Boy, I need better friends...

I have a varmint barreled Savage 260 Rem that I've long thought about switching the barrels out during gun season here. May just have to do that...

Tom ordered the reamer - should be here in a couple weeks...
