well.. my point still stands, I'm not hammering anyone. Just clarifying the intentions. I'll go ahead and lock this thread as its not going anywhere after this.
for future designs, start with a bullet, then design (or steal an existing design) for a bolt, then add a fire control group (ie trigger, hammer, sear) and the rest will come naturally.
Trailer's up, but the site is getting hammered. The thread over at cgtalk has a few links to other sites to see it at. http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=6056964#post6056964
