[QUOTE="mitch260, post: 932603, member: 53720"] Bruce, I have/am designed/designing all of my parts on Solidworks and have run stress tests on all of the critical components, and have made sure there is plenty of extra material. And the first 20 rounds or so will be fired with the rifle strapped to the bench and inspected after each round. Also, the rifle will not be able to go off unless the bolt is closed completely. I understand your concerns as the .50 BMG is a large cartridge with a lot of bolt thrust, and I've also read some of the horror story's of shell holder type actions failing. Thanks for replying.
