It's for sale on GB. Very cool looking rifle, but for 30k it's a bit outside my purchasing power. Not sure of the auction number as I didn't copy it as I was browsing.

Found it 562326031

Here you go. Wish I had 30k laying around.

I have seen and lovingly caressed it in person. And, yes it is very nice. For some reason, the wife keeps saying no.

Too cool.

And to think I brought my H&R M14 for only $5000.00!


But that was back in 1998.

 

[Papahound]

It's only money !

 

[bustedknuckles]

It's gotta lightened hammer.

It's been for sale for a very long time,on and off GB.
It has the lightning cuts on the receiver IIRC.

Also has a lightened trigger housing, and the scope mount bosses have been machined off.
Duffys was also the seller that had 2 "guerrilla gun" barrels on GB several years ago. One was a complete barrel assembly, the other was missing some parts. The complete assembly was discussed here and folks thought is was a "bubba" barrel due to rough welds.
Having researched these guerrilla guns, chatting with Different and member Leid (who saw several when out of the country), studying the pics of X-41 on the SA national museum site, it's interesting to note that there was no "set" standard as to how these GG were made.
For instance, the barrel assembly mentioned above, at the chamber end, was turned down slightly to help shave weight off. H&R tried many things to drop the weight. I don't remember off hand, but IIRC it's mentioned in the B. Stevens book that H&R was able to shave off as much as 2 pounds.
I always found it odd that the folding stock rifle on auction appears to have a full length/size barrel. I can't tell for sure if the chamber end has been turned down or not.

I like the light hammers, I've got one from shooting sight. They increase lock time a hair

Here is X-41 at SA

 

[bustedknuckles]

here is one of Art's

I actually can notice the quicker lock time with these.

Thanks for posting. I do see a difference,, on X-40 there is also a hole drilled at the top in the radius to further lighten it.

 

[m1sniper]

Forgot to mention, besides the obvious cuts on the side of the trigger housing, there is also a hole drilled into the front of the housing.

 

[bustedknuckles]

I do believe the gubment would have liked to keep this extra machining if not for the cost. But there are pockets to be lined.

That is very cool. Oh to be rich.....well, that's never gonna happen. Front sight is on backwards too. Funny. I saw a 1898 Krag awhile back in a pawnshop with the sight on backwards too. ha
