Getting a lot of looks but no takers yet. Price drop to $1800 shipped. Updated the description with more details.
 
I'm not in the market right now but your ad doesn't mention who made the barrel blank.

Also, this gun likely could have a new chamber cut for 6.5x284 for a reasonable cost.
 
Just curious if this would be any more interesting to anyone if it had detachable AICS magazine instead of BDL bottom metal?
