My initial prototype is actually going to built to fit a Savage 110 action I have laying around. It will then get a stainless heavy match barrel installed I have laying around and I will rework the trigger.

The second will be built around my FN. I always preferred the Winchester 70 action (which is what the FN has) to the Rem 700. Then last I will work on a Rem action.

A FN PBR XP

Actually I was all set to buy one at the beginning of the year but then SWMBO fell in love with a little M1 Carbine at the gun shop so yeah there went my G3. I do have 30 mags for one sitting in my shop so I do plan on getting one eventually.

Nope you have the right one. Just got my degree still looking for work in the field. Have a lead on a position looking for unmarked graves though, just a slow process.

I have my hat and whip and all that...

I started with building guns just for my own use. Then others saw my work here locally and started having me work on their guns. That caused me to start thinking up my own designs and others started wanting full builds and I got the idea of starting my own company. I still don't have the full start up for a manufactures FFL however building chassis systems won't require that. So technically if I come up with a good design and setup building those I can be sent rifles that are owned by the individual already to rebuild. Figure a fun little side business for myself.

Fun thing would be to start working on designs for the next gen coil guns. No powder or primers needed, just a charge. New battery tech will make them more possible. Velocity is not quite there yet but someday someone might crack that nut.

In reply to PHeller: Actually I took geoforensics in college which mostly focused on using GIS. I have a couple other GIS classes under my belt. My senior thesis was actually on locating unmarked graves however I trained one of my detection dogs to sniff them out for me.
