We proof test all guns, measure cocking piece travel during safety engagement, firing pin protrusion, set/measure trigger weight, coating mil thickness measured... ect. The design has been tested to and exceeds SAAMI/ANSI Z299.5 Abusive Mishandling Standards. We've done test firing at sub zero temps, and one test rifle ate 5 boxes of proof rounds with no measurable distortion when I broke it down. I've done intentional case head blowouts to ensure the action handles gas properly and protects the shooter. Some day, in my free time, I'm going to intentionally squib a barrel and try to blow an action up while filming with our high speed camera. If it still doesn't blow, I'll load some some rounds up with flash powder and just detonate it.

@Imac45acp

Are you measuring cocking piece travel as a matter of design tolerance, i.e. it meets spec, or ar you measuring if the cocking piece consistency has the same amount of travel through the three safety positions and after the firing pin is released to fire the gun and through the action of cocking the fire control mechanism?

1) Yes, sort of on the collar. The interior barrel collar is abbreviated by both bolt raceways as opposed to just the extractor side lug. The first step of our receiver machining is punching a hole through Ø2" bar and broaching the bolt bore/raceways clear through. This gives us datums to index and fixture on for all remaining machining process. The shroud and bolt stop act in conjunction to block any gasses from injuring the shooter in the event of a catastrophic case failure.

Thanks, Ian.

A so-called H-collar, instead of a C-collar.

It’s fantastic. And maybe in the not too distant future there is a variation of it in a less expensive scope….

What scope/reticle is this?

 

[solarshooter]

A full value, right to left 8-12mph gusting wind at the rifle; and about half way to the coyote a full value left to right 8+ mph wind. They canceled each other out.

How did you know the wind was fully switched halfway downrange?

Minox zp5 5-25x56 thlr-Pro.

I think he’s referring to the mysterious future scope that Form mentioned

Curiosity strikes me again… if you were to give an approximation (fully understood it’s a maybe) of what ‘not too distant future’ means, in terms of numbers and units of time, would you be willing to share?

Wondering if this future scope could be available around same time as this MRC/S2H collab rifle? Seem like they’d be a nice pairing

Would you buy this scope?

Scope specs: FFP 3-12x40 to 3-12x44mm Consistently holds zero through 3-foot drops and 3,000 rounds of constant use. The reticle is specially designed for 25 to 600 yards, with bold outer posts and correct center aiming references. Zero Stop Low profile top turret. Capped windage. Large...

As someone who was about to buy one of the minox zp5 thlr, it's enough for me to hold off.
