Some of you may have seen the sneak peak...

Just got done putting it together. It looks and feels great! Needs a couple of small adjustments to make it look pretty, but nothing that will stop it from going into the water for a fish killing mission! Mostly just shaping the butt pad to match the contour of the stock and a couple of touch up spots on the oil finish (band holes)
60" overall length. 48"-50" of band stretch. semi-enclosed track for a 7.5mm shaft. I will be shooting a 170cm shaft from this gun, with ~ 12" of overhang. Neptonics Reef mech for round notched shafts. Will be shooting some high-quality South African spring steel from this gun!
The gun is very light. The stock width and height is 1-3/16" X 1-3/4".
The handle is the new Tinman AR-15 base and an ATI "Strikeforce" grip. If you like Alexander handles, this has a very similar feel. However this one has some texture to it and just a tiny bit more rake. The finger grooves give a very good overall control feeling. The line pin is Riffe. The muzzle is modeled after Jeff's new RA retrofit. 9/16" holes that are staggered up as they go forward.
Can't wait to try it out! I will be shooting 2 bands and a single wrap of shooting line to start with, to get a feel for the recoil. I eventually plan to shoot this gun with three bands and 2 wraps of shooting line, for a light BW gun. I will be adding ballast in the future if needed.
