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

Mike

Okay. Sounds good.

Hi Mike would you please suggest which of your cast bullets would be best for all 3 cal. as I would like to add some to the package when it ships.
I imagine the 22 will use pellets and if you can head me in the best direction it would be appreciated.

The .22 will need to use pellets until I add that caliber to my production schedule.

The .25 cal is hands down the most accurate with Wicked Monsters.

I have .30 cal 52gr EPP/UG slugs I tested that showed promise but I never had time for an extensive range session with them...I hunted with the 45gr JSB's & hit everything I shot at out to 100+ yards. I told Bullfrog I'd send him some to try in a new gun of his - I'll cast some extras so you can try them.

Changing calibers is not hard but it is not as easy as I had hoped - I will print up some instructions and send them with your rifle.

Mike,
If you have, or will have, a rifle for sale I'm a buyer.

Thanks Mike for your hard work throughout the process. Time wise, things didn't work out as you planned, but I think everyone is still just as excited and enthusiastic about the finished product when it's done. Can't wait to sling some heavy .25 when the time comes.

PS I'll be wanting to order 1 or 2 tins of lead whenever the rifle is ready. I'll PM you later to discuss what you think is the best weight for my purposes. I'm thinking 31 grain or those awesome Wicked Monsters might be best for me.

Thanks Mike!

Mike, how about combining your Millennium Pumper Lower with a BNM Custom Products upper ... this should certainly bring production costs
down to a more affordable level.
I ... for one ... would be interested in a lower-cost .177 caliber version with a match-grade shrouded barrel.

Or, consider contracting with BNM Custom Products to CNC machine your receivers and other associated machine shop operations.

It's been a couple of weeks since you picked up the parts. Any updates?
Thanks

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #687 on:** August 01, 2015, 02:43:59 AM »

I'm waiting for a slot with my machinist to finish these up...it looks like next Thursday he can keep going on them.

Mike

Hi.

My name is Maarten, and I'm thinking of Selling my Millennium pumper serial number 004.
Its a .25 whit the Forest Camo, satin finish and the straight cut forearm.

If someone is interested just email me at rfvsdd @ hotmail.com, Mike can confirm I'm one of the first 10!!

Thanks Maarten

Wow, just wow. I have been reading this post for the last three hours. It is truly one of the best post i have read. These guns look amazing, just by looking you can see how much care, effort and time has been put in. I wish one-day I'll own one (especially a master hunter).

Any new updates?

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #691 on:** August 13, 2015, 11:21:12 AM »

Not yet - still waiting to hear from my machinist...there's a bunch of wildfires around where he lives so I'm hoping he didn't have to evacuate. He has not returned my calls. I'll update as soon as I know something.

Mike

Fire is not good

jeff76 · « **Reply #693 on:** August 14, 2015, 12:02:48 PM »

sorry I haven't been checking this thread often. can I order one of these yet? and if I do what is the expected build time, or are you making actual lots of them yet/already
?

jvanschoonhoven · « **Reply #694 on:** August 19, 2015, 12:02:26 AM »

Not yet..
We are still waiting for the first batch to get finished up.
There have been a few setbacks that were unavoidable hopefully they will be finished soon!

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #695 on:** August 19, 2015, 10:29:58 AM »

Thanks Jeremy........I've been super busy with these fires we have. It's been upgraded to a Type 1 Incident and the Lolo 2 Fire has the top of Greer Grade on a Level 3 evacuation - that's where my machinist lives!!! I am praying his family & shop are safe - I haven't heard from him but I am pretty sure he is involved in helping with the fires and evacuations.
One of my coworkers spent all night moving 15 loads of cattle off the mountain and there were lots of cattle & horses that were burnt...We need ***RAIN*** and these winds to die down!

I'll keep you folks posted - I have the next 3 days off so I will be on here more often unless I get dispatched out to help.

Mike

Things are bad here in Washington also... I helped fight the Tyee Creek fire in 93 health and age keeps me out of this fight.
It is looking bad right now it almost feels that some of these fires will keep going till snowfall...

My Prayers go out for the families of the three firefighters that lost their lives.

Be safe Mike.

Had some good handline trout fishing on Cooperation Creek up off the Lochsa. That is rugged country. Worked a spell at the cedar mill in Syringa too. Them were the days........

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #698 on:** August 22, 2015, 10:13:25 PM »

Syringa is bad...they back burned yesterday and had a Level 3 evac...everybody is waiting.

It looks like the Lolo 2 fire is getting contained - that's right where my machinist is. I almost drove my Harley up there today to take a look but there's still Red Hotz flying in from all over the country & I don't want to be a spectator that just gets in the way.
If I had my Nomex, Polanski & Fire Pack so I could help that'd be different.

I was in Twisp, Washington last year for the Carlton Complex Fire...the IC was at the Liberty Bell High School - I feel badly for the families of the firefighters that crashed their rig & got overrun by the fire

I will update on the Millenniums as soon as I get a hold of Jason, my machinist. I'm pretty sure he's been running his dozer cutting lines.

Mike
