Any of you guys have any projects on the drawing board or are you planning on making a trip to local gunstore to buy or order a new toy?

I don't have much other than some cool projects for customers. I'll try to finish re building my 500 Linebaugh and I may play with re chambering some more Contender/Encore barrels but that's it. The one in particular is my 7-30 Contender Varmint gun. I'll be going down for my rescheduled visit with Mike the middle of February and he's going to show me how he does his work and we are going to rechamber the 7-30 to the 7mm Bellm (7X444)

Converting a stock 270WSM striker to a 7WSM rear grip in an aluminum chassis. Krieger barrel will be used. Other than that night pick up a 686 from a friend

I'm tinkering with some stuff that's been in safe but not seen much love. One I'm playing with now is, while not a handgun, pretty cool for its intended purpose. It's a Savage 24V .222 Rem/20ga.......a complete do-all rifle....anything from squirrels to deer is fair game with a flip of the selector. I have two of them...one is pretty nice while the other is ok. I'm playing with the "ok" one, got it for $40 from a fella needing beer money!!

I'm hoping to get rid of a few long guns. I'd like to get a SRH in 480, but need to raise funds for that.

I have a bunch of irons in the fire, many of which will be headed your way Rod. There is just never enough money to tackle everything I wish to.

About the only thing I can see me purchasing this year is a BFR in .460 S&W and maybe a Ruger Mark III.

I do need to get some repairs done on the .357 (Security Six) & the .44 (Ruger SBH).
