Default Semi's ML Build

This has probably been discussed, but I've been wanting to see how progress on the interchangeable barrel ML project has been coming along. I dis see some pics a while back, but have lost track. Is the build still progressing?

Thanks.

The build is no longer progressing UncleNorby - it's finished! Came out right nice too, but I haven't shot it yet.

My wife and I are presently visiting my oldest son and his soon to be wife in Berkley, MI, just north of Detroit. I'll be best man (a quite unusual condition for me ) for the wedding on Saturday.

I'll be back in New Orleans next Tuesday, at which time you can expect to see what may turn out to be the longest post ever on HNI. I have pictures of every step of the build. (That's what's called a teaser in the media.)

I was going to wait until I shot the gun before posting. But won't get to shoot it for another week or two and can't stand not showing you guys the gun it longer.

It's about time... I've been impatiently waiting since you started talking about this thing.

Unusual yes, but what an honor my friend. Your son is telling you just how much he thinks of you. You may be his father, but he also considers you a close friend.

I envy you my friend!!!

Well give my congratulations to your son and soon to be daughter-in-law. Then after the wedding, get your butt back down to LA and test fire that ML build. We are all waiting impatiently for the results. I personally want to see them and get ready to place my order for a production model...

Semisane.. congratulations to your son and future daughter. That's a long way from the heat of your home town. But at least you can leave and get out of the cold.

Glad to hear the rifle is done. It will be an interesting read and I look forward to the range results.


we hit 30šs this morning. And it was cold and windy all day. I had a fire in the wood stove and still do as it is not warming up here in Northern Wisconsin. But I did shoot today. And I would not want to talk about my shooting experience. But in all fairness, I was trying other powders in this rifle.
