[QUOTE="Extremist458, post: 377772, member: 10561"] I like it Dave! I do have to admit, it does resemble the Barrett design, as well as the Desert Tactical, but you can make vast improvements from there! I think the design is great! I say leave it as a tube for strength and rigidity. Allow the bolt to be removed from the detachable butt plate (again, strength). Form an insert that will bed the action in the frame/tube and support it for strength, but only from one point...like free-floating the barrel and action! This is somewhat easy to do if you machine the piece with a wide base that uses a recoil lug block to lock into the tube frame. Then allow the bolt to lock directly into the barrel/barrel extention, and use a smooth, lightweight nylon bolt guide. Honestly, that is much like the DTA HTI rifle, but you can make a few improvments in not having a quick change barrel. Now for the tricky part...what about electronic ignition? Oh, I know I hit a subject of much debate, but it's worth a thought or two. I worked with Crane on converting one of Anzio's take-down 20mm's to fire electronicly primed Navy cases, and it worked out very well! Trigger can be as light as you want...now what do you think a 20mm primer would do in that case? What if we made the forward ignition tube a (solid) conductor and placed a standard Remington Etronix rifle primer fixed to it inside the case about 1/2" short of the neck? Wow, pushing it ain't I lightbulb but brilliant. Just remember, I said it first. -AP P.S. This isn't all BS, I've actually worked with electronic priming systems quite a bit, and I have found them to be superb. Only thing is they are expensive primers...and don't even try to get the big ones! [/QUOTE]
