[QUOTE="chalkeye, post: 1165230, member: 88093"] I spose I can probably skip ahead a little bit now, got a few new bits back - shortened barrel, DPT, fluted bolt and unnecessarily expensive trigger guard. I ended up rushing the last bit of sanding on the epoxy, but I'm confident I can re-finish it pretty well. [IMG]http://www.rborrett.com/wp-content/uploads/lmtop.jpg[/IMG] I've already got a big long list of stuff I want to change for the 3rd prototype; - re-design the comb for a bit more fatness, and the proper clearance for the bolt - recess the trigger guard properly, and just buy a Remington aluminium one (or similar) rather than get one CNC'd in China :x_x: - flatter forend for better sitting on a bag or harris-style bipod - skinnier grip (particularly at the very bottom - figure something out for grip... not super keen on going down the path of chequering, but I'll see. - better channel forming around the barrel, and less ridiculous structure in the forend (sling stud reinforcing) - design the swivel sling studs into the stock, rather than add them later A whole bunch more stuff will no doubt shake out as I use it some more, but for now I'm very happy with how it handles :) [/QUOTE]
