Looking forward to see the engraving.

Are all the parts now complete?
Is all that is left is assembly and testing?

Wow sounds like a lot of work to be done.
How is Jim doing?

I haven't talked to Jim since his mini stroke & I had to find another machinist...I've been pretty busy.

I picked up the breeches today...#001 & #009 are the only Master Hunters and have the MH in the beginning of the serial number.

I hope you guys like them.

The rest of the work will continue next Thursday.

Cool!!! Do you still have your original one?

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #674 on:** July 19, 2015, 04:07:04 PM »

Bobs getting one in Pepper Laminate with .25 & .30 cal barrels.

I'm not making any guesses to ship dates...every time I do something delays things.
Just know I'm *almost* done with these!!!

Mike

My original was sold over a year ago to a chap on Vancouver Island.... He loved it.... but after a 2nd Heart Attack has decided to concentrate on his PBs.... It was for sale a while back on the CAF for a steal of a price (half what he paid me).... grabbed up pretty quickly....

Hey Mike, are you going to be making more? I wondering because I thought I heard something about you not making more.

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #678 on:** July 20, 2015, 12:24:12 AM »

Yes...but my machinist needs to promise a 3-4 week turnaround on all the parts. I'm *not* going to do it if it takes as long as this run has...granted this is the first run I've done but its cost me right at $200 *per rifle* on top of what I was paid to produce them, so that's $2000 I'm eating just because I honored my original price I set of $1200.
If its not profitable to at least a minor degree I have better things to do with my time...like make slugs or go fishing

Very admirable of you to honor that price! From what I have seen here while following along the rifle is well worth the price paid, and I think there is definitely a niche for it. Very impressive, can't wait to see reviews on here from happy buyers!
