You mean it mixes left hand screws and right hand screws? Or are the screws both left handed and right handed at the same time? That is awesome!!!Hi,

Don’t tell anyone on the hide (might get flamed) but I love a bubble level on the mount.
One less piece of gear to get bumped or adjusted.
I’m guessing with the proprietary chassis, one piece action/rail and serious mount I could just level the scope to the mount and not have to worry

At the cost of TEN!! Mounting points though, is ambidextrous screws really worth it?Hi,

Hi,
Counting down to season finale.
Now in mad rush to bring all the pieces together for full package debut.

Any chance of package deal possibilities for standard calibers with loaded RCC brass for getting you shooting right away then having the brass for reloading later on?
I'm assuming your super calibers and super tungsten, nano polymer coated, liberal tear inducing, rounds might be a little bit further out?

Hi,
We have no problem providing loaded and tuned ammunition with RCC brass and projectile of customers choice (Of course barrel specifications would be tailored to the customers projectile choice).
Liberal tears ammunition is still in T&E phase...lots of moving parts on that side of the house!!

I think that he means you missed this picture and angle. I know that I did at first and had to go back and read through the last page to find it:
Think I mis understood you. I read it as you were saying you "would" love a bubble level on the mount.
Ma bad
Carry on.
Also, note that it is the dry season, so the tears may not be available until Feb 14th.
Hi,
So the Aspis and Kopis components are heading to heat treatment today, while the Apsis chassis gets sent to anodizing...

Hi,
The Kopis production version runs on AI #6852/6955 Double stack single feed.
The Aspis production version runs on AI #20400 Single stack single feed.
The Phalanx production version runs on AI #4719 Single stack single feed.
Also...We have received a few emails inquiring basically on the same question of "Why is the breech cylinder not designed/used as a "traditional" barrel extension"...
See below image:
So figured would be great to address that head on in this thread
The technical reason(s):
1. We would have to make the entire receiver and consequently the bolt a larger diameter if we had the barrel thread into the "traditional" barrel extension design. But the way this is engineered we can keep the overall size smaller because the barrel extension does not have threads on the inside of it and such. The breech cylinder fits into the receiver body and then is pinned in place but is also held in place via the barrel since the barrel threads into the receiver body directly.
2. We wanted this design so that in the future if we ever wanted to make an aluminum or any other lightweight alloy receiver body we can use the same high strength components as already manufactured.
The philosophical reason(s):
1. We feel the "standard" in the industry of x bolt body diameter in relation to y bolt lug diameter in relation to z receiver diameter adding up to "action strength" is decades too late in being revised. This design does not count on xyz relationship diameters for its' strength; it relies on carefully chosen alloys, tolerances, machining procedures, specific component heat treatment specifications, etc etc to achieve its' strength, durability and reliability.
2. Pretty much nothing on this design and its' procedures are traditional/normal thought process in the industry

Theis

It’s interesting that the turkeys are armed with AK variants. Is that a statement?

Who's gonna be the first to bag a Turkey using a Hoplite rifle?
Hi,
Well....it was designed, engineered, prototyped and tested in the Finland Winters so no problems should arise

Hi,
I actually prefer skinless and boneless sardines to a damn turkey, hahaha

if your new Hoplte rifle shoots awesome but is a bit stinky we’ll know why now!
Hi,
Well, since the Aspis and Kopis parts are all sitting at heat treatment facility, I figured it would be a great time to highlight one of the features of the upcoming Phalanx weapon system receiver......This little improvement allows for better cartridge pickup of the big cases from the AI magazine.

Hi,
As mentioned previously
The devil is in the details. Here is "cutaway" of the feed ramps. The enhanced feed design of the bolt lugs and the dual feed ramp design is a perfect combination of minutia coming together for the greater good.
For decades the big guns have had to deal with dinging projectiles due to overall weight of the ammunition, design of the action feeding, the magazine seating specifications, etc etc etc....Now we can move past those nuisances and focus on the environment, wind and target.

Wow Theis, pretty darn cool. I can’t think of anything this innovative since... maybe the Barrett M82, and I think as far as innovation your project goes deeper than that.
The high pressure cartridges can really have a long term effect on the firearms industry! Time will tell, but I’m excited to see where this ends up!!
I was on your website but I didn’t see any Black Friday sales incentives, small business Saturday coupons, or even a cyber Monday flier. You should probably have a talk with your web master!!
Awesome is as awesome does.

I think @THEIS is already counting on there being an unruly mob waving stacks of cash at him and demanding he take all their money now.
He probably won't need none of that discounting stuff to drive people to snap up all his initial production run... HA!
Here is a picture of me and several others about now as we wait for well.....:

He’s actually the exact opposite...
Instead of preorders he mocked me when I threw money at him

Hi,Has anyone asked if he takes trades yet?!
Do you have any of the following lol:
Corbin Hydro Press
Hensoldt Spotter 60
CK Arms "Open" in 9mm
Jeep Gladiator with Hemi conversion
24' Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat

no but I have a first edition of Big ‘uns signed by Al Bundy
I’m not at liberty to discuss this on an open and public forum.
Sorry, I’m just not that comfortable with it. I mean, just because they no longer post my photo in the post office doesn’t mean the coast is clear...
So, any word on this coming to fruition or is it still a junior high circle jerk around a picture of Kathy Ireland in a swimsuit?
Hi,
Wasn't mocking you per say, but more along the lines of the industry as a whole with the "Pre-Order" business models.

Hi,
LOLOL don't you have some kids running around that need looking out after or some stairs that need to be used as stress relief from taking care of the kids,
All Aspis and Kopis parts are at heat treatment and under gas vacuum as I type, lol.

Theis
