I am getting ready to completely retire but first I want to build something special.
I have at my disposal the most complete machine shop you could imagine. there are over 14 million dollars in CNC mills and laths. spinning machines, EDM, Water Jet, as well as nearly any other kind of metal working machine you can think of.
My boss has given me the green light to build anything (legal) I wish, and to use whatever material and equipment I need.
But what to build? that is the question. I have thought of several projects I have always wanted to do and thought someone out there might have an idea.
More years ago then I like to think of I was able to get my hands on a 3.75 (75mm) mountain Howitzer for a couple of months, I always liked the Little beast and I have found my notes on it tucked away in some old files. I could build a scaled down model that can shoot 50 bmg.or 50X20mm. What do you think out there give me some ideas.
I will build every part myself from the Action, Barrel, Stock right down to the springs. I might even make my own brass.
Well speak up, or write up, what you think.
