    Out of interest, is the carbon butt stock made in NZ? Looks very nice.

    Yes it is all made in NZ. I had considdered just using Sig stocks but figured I can do better cost wise and make it lighter at the same time. The butt stock only weighs about 200 grams which is a 3rd of the weight of my of the Sig stocks.

    It's a Howa mini action, which is in the Wingman Chassis, that's the 300blk barrel that came with it, and there's a 223 and a 204 barrel also. ODL titanium can on the 300, and the ODL 223 can fits the other 2 barrels.
    Backlanz bipod.
    Nice light set up.

    Remove the front action torx bolt, then under that a 3mm allen key to undo the switch barrel locating grub screw, and change barrels. It's about a 3-minute job.

    Kind of... that one was a one off gen 1 version I made completely manually on my small mill as a proof of concept. It has been refined and improved for the gen 2 CNC production.

    Hard to tell from Gibos picture but have you extended the fore end a bit since Mk1 @Wingman?

    Yes the gen 2 comes with a 3 slot m-lok fore end as std. The early prototype only had a short extension off the front with a picatinny attachment for a bipod
