So this is my third gun build, and I think I've learned enough from my mistakes that I'm willing to show the build in the progress.
This is a four piece, vertical lam build out of Padauk. The blank is 1.6" X 2" by ~63". The intended result is a high power rear handle gun with an open track and shooting a 5/16" shaft. I'll be using a Neptonics reverse trigger, and I plan on incorporating my muzzle idea from this thread:

If you look Tin Man's post #8 in that thread, I've decided to go with the top sketch as far as how the metal or CF tubing will interact with the end of the gun.
I've only gotten one work session in so far, once I finish up grad school finals and get my work schedule finalized for the summer I'll be able to get more done. So far I've routed the open track, the trigger pocket, and a recess to bring the handle inline with the shaft. I am thinking of extending the recess to include the reel.
