The transion to the MKII has been a much longer process than I had anticipated. It has taken a huge amount of time and money to re-design and produce all of the tooling, fixtures and machinery to get this into a larger scale production than I had ever intended.
We HOPE to have our production backlog (i.e. wait list) cleared up by the end of April - at wich point I will be adding a new trainee to the team. (with God's good graces, Britta Rosequist will be born April 30th)
I really appreciate the response that this forum has generated, Thanks to all of the paitent (and mostly paitent) customers out there!
Now the good news!!!!
SEMI AUTO.......................
- Yes it's true, We're throwing our hat into the ring with a Semi-Auto 50 BMG rifle as well. But in true BOHICA fashion we're doing it with a BANG!.
We will have a proto on display at the Tulsa Show in April and will begin taking orders there. Delivery will begin within 4-6 WEEKS of the Tulsa show!!!!
I don't want to turn this into a striptease so I will not post photos until after the Tulsa show. But I will give some basic specs (subject to possible change):
- CALIFORNIA LEGAL!!!!!!!
- Short stroke gas piston operation
- 28" Barrel
- One peice tactical style stock rather than a pistol grip
- Click wheel adjustable LOP & cheek weld
- Crisp 2 stage trigger
- Quick change barrels for easy caliber/ barrel length swaps
