At this point with us not having a finalized product and tested to our satisfaction, no we will not take $$ or orders.
Once the fully finished and tested rifle is ready to go into full production we will likely consider pre-orders, but not until we are happy with what we are manufacturing. We have never felt that the public should be used as the beta testers.

Well some of us wouldn't mind helping test the rifle, if we were able to provide valuable input to you on it!
 
You guys should scale it up a bit so it can be offered in .300 win mag! Up in the high territories short action rounds don't quite cut it. Also I really want a nemo Omen but if you guys can deliver a similar platform you automatically get my money.

Edit: just realized this wouldn't work for at pmags,
Hmm okay once this is off the ground make a magnum version that will take the big rounds!

Couple questions that I have are

Will it use standard AR10 gas tubes for the DI system?
Will is use standard AR10 buffer and spring?
Are you planning a barrel attachment system similar to the AR that uses the same barrel wrench?
Do you plan on having pre-chambered barrels available for the common calibers with the .470" boltface like 243,260, 6.5 creedmore, etc?

I will be very seriously be considering one of these with a short barrel 308 (20") and a 24-26" 6.5 Creedmore.

Oh and how about some teaser pics already! LOL
 
+1 for 300 win mag!!! And I have no problems with no muzzle device but I really really hope that it would still have a threaded barrel with thread protector.

ONCE we get the 308 version up and going the plan is to try and scale up to magnum calibers. Needless to say the P Mags are out but Accuracy Int mags could be employed.

Before this derails though, let us get the 308 into production please.

Yes AR10 commonality in so far as gas tubes, buffers and springs is already done.
Barrel nuts we are still pondering but leaning towards standard AR10.
To do 243, 260 or 308 is easy. The oddballs will not be due to the problem of feeding from a mag.
 
So my JP Silent Captured Recoil spring for my LMT MWS is going to fit your rifle also?
My jp spring is the only improvement I had to make for my LMT and kac, smooth as a nob of butter sliding in the buffer tube.

Man, this platform in 260 would be awesome. It would save me having to rebarrel my model seven from 308 to 260, as, I"d have a completely new rifle to replace it and complement my precision rifle.... Also, I have ~900 139 scenar's that it'd be awesome to run through, that I'm just not shooting right now out of my bolt gun....
