[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 146815, member: 1563"] JB, I was looking at the AR grip design, but nothing is set in stone yet. The grip will certainly be detachable from the lower assembly, what style i'm not sure yet. My thinking is a comfortable pistol grip, target style maybe. The grip needs to look like it belongs to the overall look of the rifle. Once i get the lower machined i can focus on the grip style. I have decided on a Titainum receiver with a Bi-metal bolt body. It will be the full bolt style with a Two lug tip, an estimated 75 deg lift, this will aid in the feeding from a detachable double stack magazine and a shorter cocking stroke. Either Sako or AR-15 extractor. I want to keep the weight down if at all posible, a match dia bbl around the 4# range, 26". There are going to be some design issues along the way, once i built the first one i can see where to make changes and ease up some machining time. I started to draw the plans to this rifle in the late 80's, since then new thoughts and techniques have came along. New materials will make this build very unique. Carbon Fiber, Titainum, Aluminum will be a big part of this rifle. Dave [/QUOTE]
