Frank:

Shooting F-class with this probably isn't the best, it's definitely meant for mag use. Loading would certainly be difficult single shot.

There isn't a bolt notch cut in this prototype, but in future versions, yes. The cheekpiece hides it to give a nice clean look.

There will be some material removal and weight reduction, but unfortunately things can't get a whole lot slimmer because our linkage must go outside the magazine. It is very compact in there, but obviously slimmer would be better. That will require some really innovative trigger work...which we have several ideas in mind for Smiler

Forend will be tended to, with at least options available for folks. The XLR has a round forend and personally it's my favorite chassis, but I understand some want other shapes.

AICS and AW mags fit now, other inlets basically upon popularity of demand.

Great information Tyler, keep up the good work.

I think it would look tacticool (read marketable big money gun nerd market) with a flash suppressor and accessory rail system over the barrel all parkerized and black.

I think it would be cool to have a screw on muzzle break that is a functional whistle. A supersonic whistle will make the dogs ears for miles perk up Big Grin. I want to see what changing the pitch of the sound blast does as far as acting as a semi suppressor.

I can't help but think this rig would be great for a suppressed 458 SOCOM. Think high BC bullets loaded to 2.8" subsonic.

standard finish will indeed be anodized black, with other options available, including custom cerakoting done by a few great painters I know.

Will it have an option to properly use Alpha or other "aics" type magazines with no spacers in them?

That is something that would need to be tested. After buying a Magpul AICS mag to try fitment with I'm totally sold on them, so much better than the metal ones!

The issue I'm referring to is the position of the magazine relative to the receiver:

The magazines without spacers are nice because it gives you about another 0.06" of room for long range bullets. The problem, is that these magazines are not recognized or supported well by companies making bottom metal, chassis, etc. So most people who want to use them have an issue with rounds hanging under the receiver. Many choose to just cut a notch in the receiver like this:



In my opinion this is not a good idea (see that link I posted earlier). So if the magazine is positioned properly from the beginning, the benefits are manifold.

I'm quite happy with the newest version. We will be running a small batch in early 2017 and letting customers run them for a few months. If there is some consensus on small changes to make, that will be implemented and then it's time for a big batch of bullpup chassis!
