[QUOTE="randallss7, post: 2810337, member: 24507"] I just finished the prototype auto hunter today, I'm about 75% happy with it. I guess, I thought I would just knock the first one out of the park...lol. I learned a lot from making this one, Along with this learning curve I had to figure out how to use a lathe at the same time, any way it works good, there is a tiny bit of play in the open locked position I hope I have figured out a way to correct this, time will tell, it will not close without pushing the button. a break down of parts and sizes blade is 1/8" stock thickness cpms-35vn stainless bolsters are 416 stainless liners are 410 stainless spacer/stop bar is 440c stainless scales are camo g-10 303 stainless screws, pins, and pivots 7 1/4" total blade is 3 1/8" from leading edge of bolsters I had plans on making this one out of nicer materials but decided to just finish it and carry it as a field test/prototype as it didn't pass my initial expectations and therefor didn't want to spend any more time or money on fit and finish.
