Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a gunsmith and machinist, I found Mr. Holmes' work rudimentary at best. His "drawings" are just that. They are poorly dimensioned and lack any reference to tolerances. Some of his dimensions are simply incorrect. His bolt design is overly complex as well as being, in my opinion, the weakest part of the rifle in terms of safety. As one who is actually building this rifle, or should I say building/re-designing this rifle, I believe most who attempt this project will quit long before completion. I have over 60 hours of machine time and re-design time in the barrel, barrel nut, barrel extension, taper sleeve and muzzle brake alone. It has required not only the use of a large metal lathe and milling machine, but also rather expensive fixtures such as a dividing head and rotary table. This is not the type project a beginner can complete at home or in the average garage shop.
