It's on hold while my 4 bore is being built. The 4 bore is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and is taking precedence. This is still on the books. Have a brass manufacturer lined up.

So, to fund this project I was planning on selling my kit car. By some strange cosmic coincidence, I was scrolling through Facebook and got to the kit car group, and none other than Bailey Bradshaw...

Putting final touches on the adjustable stock I designed to go along with the chassis. It uses 2 AR15 bolt release plungers and springs as detents for the adjustment wheels. Fully collapsed it's the...

I have been working on this design for a little bit now. I'm calling this evolution of my Apache chassis the M.C.S. (Modular Chassis System). This system utilizes an AR15 stock, grip, and now...

So, I turned this 4 bore solid to get an idea on what bullet design I want. I won't be making bullets myself as my lathe can't hold the tolerances like a swiss lathe can. I'm still not sure if I want...

No worries, nothing like a bunch of BS laws to make it impossible to tell what is and isn't legal.
And thank you! It's definitely turning out better than I expected

The jag is done. Took a long time, but I'm sure I can do it again faster with better results. This was a huge learning experience in how my lathe operates. I had major problems keeping it concentric,...

Working on my cleaning kit. It's the little things like this that can be easily forgotten when tackling a heckin big project like this. It will be a while before I can send off the barrel to the...

Likely closer to 18lbs being a single shot. The closer to 20 the better.
In theory, this would be used on large dangerous game, but in reality it will be used for extreme plinking.

Yes, he is incredibly reasonable. I inquired about a 4 bore muzzleloader. At the time I couldn't afford it, but it was very reasonable.

I got really bored on a sleepless night and modeled a cartridge case and slug in CAD and 3D printed it out and threw some paint on it to get an idea of what I'm getting into as I've never actually...

Yes sir! Mr. Stolzer is an amazing smith and extremely generous for answering some of my 4 bore related questions even with him knowing someone else was doing the build.

Will definitely have plenty of pictures and videos. I hope I can convince Mr. Bradshaw to record or take pictures as he builds the rifle as that would be a great thing to put innthe case with the...

I am used to huge recoil from my 12 Gauge from Hell. Mild load for this will be 12 drams of 1F max load is about 16 drams. Don't know if I will ever go that hot as it will be a pretty light rifle for...

I have been in awe of this monstrous cartridge ever since I learned of its existence. The first time I read about one, I told myself "one day". Well, it's finally "one day". I am now the proud owner...
