Welcome Rob!

I have a Nikon 4.5X14X40 side-focus and really like it.

Anxious to hear more as your project develops.

Howdy and Welcome Aboard!!!

Gonna be a tack driver.

It going to have 12'' SS Pro Hunter (Heavy Factory)
. i want to use it for coyotes and rock chucks here in N.Utah .

got tracking ## from GMG and for grip and forearm set .:) barrel will be here tomorrow and the grip on Saturday . I already have everything else . i have a friend who reloads .223 , but i am buying my own reloading equipment . i have dies , bullets , lee's primer loader . next pay day , the press , trimmer . calliper , then the powder scale . deciding on a table .???

Sure makes for long nihts when you are tracking items. Welcome to the site.

thanks

yes it does . its on the truck and should be here around 2 pm . the grip/forearm around 4 pm tomorrow. Due to the high fire danger they have closed all target practice on public land , only in the city ranges is allowed . We have had over 30 fires started by shooters , most are using explosive targets in dry grass . common sense is NOT very common any more . stupidity sure is though .

found a used rcbs press for 60.00 hope to get it

You'll probably have some of the finish polished off tonight before you get the grip and fore end tomorrow. If the press isn't all rusty it should do fine for you.

Got the MGM barrel , very very very nice . I was not sure what was going to be on the barrel to mount a forearm , looks like i need hanger bar and will have to modify the forearm . glad i had the bigger hinge pin ( the one i am not sure i can mention ???) just a tad bigger , it fit just right in both the receiver and barrel .slipped right in not taping . no slop or play like my encore M.L HAD . so i guess i will be waiting to shoot it . no cash for the hanger right now . will post a photo later to show what i do have .
