Eureka Stockade Update #4 - Forend, Receivers and Customisation 

These constant transparent updates are extremely valuable as documentation pieces, but also for investment purposes, winning a lot of people with your practices. Would also love to stick our nose in for the torture tests lol.

Everything looks great so far, still think for the extra cost it would be worthwhile looking at a pivot pin and latch setup for connecting the upper and lower to make maintenance easier. Especially on a gas gun, just my two cents.

Hey Bastion, getting down to the pointy end now…. A suggestion, we cull pests and hunt predators as part of our business management from all manner of positions (different vehicles, natural props and prone, (getting to old to shoot off hand over 100y)). In the past 12 months we’ve integrated the use of a tripod into our predator hunting which works extremely well from fixed positions either day or night with thermal. A number of our rifles have chassis set up for an arca attached just forward of the mag well. The exception being a Taipan that’s been getting a bit of use lately which we had to modify and build a custom arca mount for. It would be an advantage to either integrate or future proof the addition of a short arca rail on the lower just forward of the mag well (this is usually close to the balance point on a MSR style upper and lower firearm). Whilst I acknowledge the added cost of machining in an arca spec’d rail I’d suggest a budget alternative maybe drilling and tapping 2 holes parallel to the lower in a standard arca mounting pattern could allow for a valuable customisable feature at the users discretion. Cheers, T

This rifle is coming along pretty quickly!

Thanks for the update

Exciting!

Is there any update on when you'll start looking at Left Handed versions? As much as I enjoy turning myself into a pretzel with RH weapons, I actually want a dedicated LH one. The only other question I have is, is there a way to invest in the company such as stocks/shares or something? I think this venture is something worthwhile and I'd like to support it.

Great to see!

Great to see the progress. No mention this time of other cal options? Ive spoken to my local dealer so they are aware of everything👌

Thanks for the update guys, have you done anymore testing around the ambidextrous controls being a lefty I’m super keen to see the nitty gritty of it

Are you saying the dealer is not going to charge a transfer fee? This is usually 100-150 under similar payment structures like for the wedgetail.

The trigger weight is very heavy at 4lbs which I can live with on a bench, but in a practical use for pest control out of a vehicle etc. with multiple targets and shots in quick accurate succession this will prove challenging for me. It would be very useful for me to be able to either change trigger out to a lighter version or have it modified by a compertantent gunsmith to allow for my incompetence. Can you help? I also intend to fit a suppressor to the rifle and believe the end of the barrel will already be threaded. Will you be able to either supply the aforementioned item or suggest a compatible brand/model? It would seem that this rifle would make an ideal tool for primary producers in NSW with a thermal sight, if you can get it past the short sighted and self serving nanny state that we are forced to live with. cheers G

if there are plans for ambidextrous levers on the receiver would this be a interchangeable system where the user could choose which side they wish to run the lever on? Or due to the complexities of the system would this need to only be sectioned to just right or left side receiver sets? Because I am left eye dominant I prefer shooting left handed but giving the users the ability to switch whenever would be a really good quality to the system.

Hey mate Cheers for update Looking forward to getting it into action Can I choose what thread on the barrel or will they all be the same ?

Thanks for the update mate. Very keen to check out the website for ordering, how much is minimum pre order deposit and how to go about that?

Ta, looking forward to putting one to work.

What is the expected cost for just the rifle please?

Hi Bastion. Are you going to make this in a 308? And when do you think the release date will be.

How is this going to go in Western Australia? Will it be legal ? Cheers and well done

Is there a prize for a photo competition? Are we looking for the first Australian game to be taken with the new eureka stockade rifle ? The comp is really not that important to me. I’m just going dingo hunting in central Qld during the first two weeks of June and it would be nice to get some red dust on my new rifle

Will there be a case deflector ? If not is the receiver thick enough to drill and tap in order to add one?

Good comms. I think you are missing an opportunity to make the rifle highly modular by not utilising existing the barrel nut and handguard from the AR15 platform.

What is this firearm? First I'm hearing about it

Cheers for the update, keen to see what the newer reciever looks like! Also a melt down of the rifle will be a good way to be transparent, good idea. Is there any social media platforms like facebook or instagram you guys have where you post photos?
