    FTR-c with May Precision action on own design chassis

    Unable to get a chassis in NZ so f*ck it I am CADing my own one. Once I am happy with the 3d printed one I will get it CNC'd in China. (Purple = carbon fibre) Yellow = aliminium Name:  2ndJuly-design-FTR-c.jpg

    Because usually no one in NZ is interested in one offs, and China is way cheaper and will do one off pieces.

    You can always ask mate. I do one offs. Depending on length of your parts I may be limited on my machine.

    I'd really need to see an assembled mock-up to make any comment, and preferably with an action sitting in it. The dimensions would also be informative.

    First full mock up incl joystick bipod. Barrel is only 27inches and not 32 inches as my printer wont do any longer.

    Where is the ar-15 pistol grip?
    Do you have a picture of the action?
    So what is the story? Are the May actions exactly like Barnard used to be ? Or they are a different kind of a horse?

    They are a swap in replacement externally for a Barnard P, sorry only link I have is, https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid...64202306087539.

    "Ar15 pistol grip" I am a bit concerned I dont send the Police into a fit at the moment if I mention such so I will have a grip but will probably CAD and 3d print my own one.

    I dont appear to have any options. Mik Dolphin has retired so I cant buy a FTR chassis off him and Ive been emailing around NZ and no one has anything suitable.
