More pictures of the M75

[EagerNoSkill]

Tim Stewart (ENS) called over today to give the rifle the once over and generally abuse the Viking and we went through the barrel switch and bolt removal process. The back end and bolt is comfortably removed in sub 10 seconds, returning the bolt to the receiver and fitting the stock rod interface takes around 15 seconds as I keep fumbling the process, it can certainly be done a lot quicker with practice.

It is simply a thing of beauty! It really was 10 and 15 seconds!

It is truly 1st class engineering. ... Truly well conceived & designed & built.

The partners Robert and Chris are lucky to have D&C on board since I doubt it would have got this far without the Shooting Shed D&C.
David and Christel have invested a small fortune in time and money into this project I for one must commend them for their initiative and skill.

For the very first build of the m75 chassis.... wow! It can only get better.

This system is going to define a new standard of design and build quality. I expect the shooting performance and user utilisation is also going to raise the bar even more.

If anyone is planning to buy ANY weapon system in the near future I would very strongly suggest you defer the decision and purchase until you have viewed and handled the M75 system.

It most definitely a contender at every level!

Well done Shooting Shed!

it was good to get your feedback today, we truly believe it is a winner.

Without Robert's design expertise and the drive of Chris this project would never have reached this stage, we have all committed a lot of time and effort to the development of the M75 along with the M59 actions both of which will be at the Phoenix plus the new lightweight M66 chassis system which is soon to be finished we will have three truly new concepts actions and chassis systems released to the shooting community.

Hmmm, and might any of 'em be chambered for 7.62x54R for the noise lovers / cheapskates amongst us ?

*crosses claws*

54R, I can ask the question. The CG INCH Actions for Model 75 are not built in the UK unlike the M59 actions, M66 and M75 chassis's so delivery would be sometime if indeed it could be added to the build.

David,
The reply is : it has already been done, and Chris might had several made at the time and still have some left.
7.62x54R is rim diameter 14,6mm, just 0,4mm smaller than the .338LM, which is the limit I fixed to the INCH.

The Deltas 59 and 66 are limited to the Magnum casehead.

ENS,

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am much honoured.

I can modestly say the INCH is the most inherently accurate of all the fullbore actions (confirmed by a great specialist) and the 75 stock is on the same concepts….

Yes, we form a good team and ‘working’ with Christel, David and Chris in OZ is a real enjoyment for the old man mpstly motivated by the fun and friendships he got in that venture….

You of course imagine I got immediately yesterday a long report on your appreciation and constructive comments who receive full attention…Thanks again for all that.

Looking forward the pleasure to meet you soon and hopefully seing you shooting (and winning) with the 41-75 combo……

Most sincerely yours

Refresh our memory, ooman: this M75 of which we speak - it *is* a quick change barrel system isn't it ? And does it have magazine feed ?

[ovenpaa]

The M75 is a chassis system for the M41 CG INCH action so it is single feed only. The repeater chassis system is the M66 which is the LTR (Light Tube Repeater) which is set for release very shortly, the first versions are fitted with a .308 Bolt face and accept the AICS magazine as standard.

Externally the M66 looks very similar to the M75 and shares the same butt pad and rear bag rider ladder plus the same cheek piece adjustment system and front accessory rail components. The stock rod interface connecting everything to the main tube is slightly different however it still uses the same quick release latch system, after that things change. The M66 tube acts as the receiver as well and is a lightweight assembly holding a 22,0mm diameter 3 lug front locking bolt housed in a 7075 T6 hard anodised hard aluminium tube with a separate forend tube. The trigger guard accepts the proven Accuracy International AICS magazine so you have a choice of 5 and 10 shot if required.

Because the M66 utilises a light metal receiver it is considerably lighter than the M75 chassis system and coming with a .308 BF as standard means it will accept many factory and wildcat cartridges up to a maximum OAL of 2.875" which from memory is the longest loaded round the AICS magazine accepts.

The M66 is also available as the LTT (Light Tube Target)

*tries to imagine it*

You are going to have to really screw your eyes up and think hard for this as I am not in a position to upload any pictures at this stage. I will start a new topic specifically for the M66 when the remaining parts are finished.

The stock rod interface tube tapers from the major to the minor diameters so think of a cone behind the main tube.

The main tube section is actually two parts that slide and bolt together, the main receiver tube and the front section.

The trigger guard/bottom metal is similar in form however it is longer to accept the magazine.

So to paraphrase a well known car advert 'like a Golf but different'... tongueout

One thing I will say is it is going to be light, as an example the front tube weighs under 250 grams.
