I have a few personal projects I plan on building, first is pretty simple. My old lightweight 7mm AM is in desperate need of a new pipe. Here are the specs:

-Lilja #5, fluted, 27" 1-9, 4 groove
-Trued Rem 700
-Badger Ord extractor
-Small Painkiller brake
-HS Precision sporter stock, green with black web
-Black teflon coat finish
-Burris two piece bases
-Burris signature double DT rings
-Leupold Mk4 3.5-10x 40mm TMR reticle
-9.5 lbs ready to hunt with

I have two major projects I plan on doing for my personal inventory:

-Lilja 30", "Allen30" contour, 8 flute, 510 cal, 1-15
-Lawton M8000 repeater
-Chey Tac 7 round DM system
-McMillan "Super Mag" A-5, 80% black 20% red, adjust CP
-Jewell trigger
-APS 5 port Painkiller muzzle brake
-Black teflon coating on all metal surfaces
-Lawton 40 moa steel rail
-Two sets of NF steel rings
-NF NXS 5.5-22x 20mm NP-R1
-Scope level
-Harris S 9-13, w/ leg notches
-50 Allen Tactical chambering
-Expecting 18 lb finish weight

With the new government in place, I want to get a repeating, heavy hitting 50 cal in the safe that they can not take with 50 BMG laws that are sure to come. Not 100% 50 BMG performance but way more accurate, far more consistant, lighter and 2600 fps with a 647 gr Ball or 2500 fps with a 750 gr A-Max. Close enough for me and I am sure on the receiving end as well!!!

My other project will be to replace my Xtreme Heavy Sporter in 338 AM which I sold.

-Krieger custom contour, 33", heavy fluted 1-10 twist
-BAT Model M 1.55x8.5 single shot
-BAT 40 moa steel rail
-McMillan A-5 tactical, 70% black 15% grey 15% white
-Jewell trigger
-APS large 5 port PK brake
-Bead blasted matte finish
-Two sets of NF Ultralight rings
-NF NXS 5.5-22x 50mm NP-R1 reticle
-Scope level
-Harris S 9-13, w/ notched legs.
-338 AM chambering
-16 lb expected finish weight ready to hunt.

I am sure there will be others that will come up but those are the ones I am PLANNING on doing personally in the coming year.

Mr. Kirby, I have sent couple e-mails trying to reach you in response to building a custom rifle. Not sure if you recieved them? I did already find a gunsmith yesterday to start, but for future interests or to use your services, do you have a better way to be contacted beside the e-mail you list? Did you recieve my e-mails from slg&*%? Thanks.

slg888,

The first of November I had a pretty serious computer virus problem and had to upgrade my firewall and e-mail filters. I have found that may e-mails that would normally get through are now getting filtered out occasionally. Its hard to figure because not all of them are being pulled.

I have tried to check my filtered e-mails but because of the volume, I am sure that some have slipped by.

Send another e-mail, in the topic box, be specific about rifle build or something like that with your name as well.

sorry for the trouble. Would love to work with you on a project.
