I have been on this project for a few years. A friend in Colorado gifted me with the receiver. The threads and front ring erer trued to the receiver bore. He also included a new fitted PT&G bolt. Installed a 3 pos safety and off to Dan Armstrong for a more appealing bolt handle. Tommy Kaye engraved the end of the bolt knob. Ed Shilen was kind enough to pick out a blank and lap a slight choke in it. I sent the metal work to Richard Gorham in Oklahoma to be chambered. I installed a Shilen trigger. It was off to Dodge City, Ks. with funds and a nice walnut blank. The fellow disappeared and the work of the Dodge City Police found him and off to jail he went. He also had another expensive rifle. When I got it back the metal was in good shape, but the custom scope bases were missing. It went to a forum member, Evan Koch, to do the stock from a piece of walnut from Roger Vardy in Australia. I'm waiting on the custom scope bases that are due last Thanksgiving. It has Talleys now. Turnbull did the rust blue. The scope is one of 3 produced in the Remington Custom Shop. I believe it is a 24X. One of the scopes went to Jim Stekl, Father of the XP100, and the other to Mike Walker and a man named Tooley. Mine came from the estate of Mike Walker.
I have not shot it yet.
That is not a tuner or suppressor-A fixture I made with a heavy steel plate, 10" long pin with a threaded pin to hold the rifle vertically. The pin has shrink wrap tape around it and a Delrin pin the protect the crown.
