I had an e-mail from Steve Earle at the end of March stating that he had just sent out #52. He also stated that the next 30 receivers were at about the 90% stage - in the milling I take from context. All other parts for those he had on hand. I can't recall exactly, but I believe the one earmarked for me is in that group. It is a long wait, but has allowed me to accumulate more knowledge and thoughts for the ultimate rifle once I get it.
