Awesome, just waiting on a die set to make some brass before I send my barrel to Marty to finish my .14 cal project.
Thanks for posting.

Very beautiful set up. I have a Contender in 17 squirrel barrel and would like to have a 14 squirrel. I do have a14 Walker hornet and 14/221 barrel for Contender also.

Who made your 17 squirrel contender barrel?

 

[Kylongrifle32]

I got the barrel from MGM

Beautiful rig!!! Nice work by both you and Marty putting this beauty together.
The 14 Squirrel is arguably one of the most fuel efficient 14 caliber rounds you can go with.
I know the 14 short and long rifle guys are going to chime in in here and blast me hard but I did say ONE of the most fuel efficient 14 calibers out there.

All of my reloading data on the 14 Squirrel is for much longer barrel lengths so the data won't be of much help to you. The longer barrel lengths I used both loved H4227 but that's not going to be of much help to you with the shorter barrel length on your rig.

It looks like from the picture that Marty set you up with an 11 degree crown on it as well. 2 BIG thumbs up there for sure.

Please keep us posted on how you progress with it. It should be a heck of a lot of fun.

As always stay on target,

Yes it sure looks cool too. Thinking a 14 Squirrel or a 14 Mink would be something I'd like to build. @lorinorm can you tell us about that XP trigger, is it from Dell?

What would you like pictures of? Just let me know

Would love to see the barreled action out of the stock, especially the trigger and linkage. Great build btw.
Thanks
Matt

The trigger is from Mike Dewey. He makes the longer link to fit the 700 action.
