I believe that the Project Upland survey was for the design of a "crowd-sourced" special variation of the CZ Bobwhite.

There is a podcast dedicated to the CZ project if you look up the Project Upland podcast page.

It’s hard to stop once you begin trying different options. I will likely order a 16 ga, 29 in barrels, straight grip, single trigger and interchangeable chokes.

To lump an Italian company with 60 years gunmaking experience in with the Spanish, Belgians and Turks is to ignore the individual company's abilities, IMO. That said, I think they're a bit "optimistic" in their pricing. I see nothing there that cannot be bested in price by a FAIR Italian gun, one of which I have hunted for three years, and another that I've hunted, and shot in competition, for probably 10 years.

I’d be interested to see one in person. Seems like you can configure a pretty nice gun for the price of a Parker Reproduction.

Also would be interested to see an example of grade 3 wood.

The guns look interesting but I see no where you can order your stock dimensions. Why would you order a custom shotgun not knowing the dimensions or having to take one size fits all dimensions.

I believe you fill out the from with what you’re wanting, and then they contact you.

The guns look interesting. I'd be interested in getting a 20 ga. But am a bit hesitant. If a few guys here actually ordered one I'd be a little bit more inclined to do so.

That being said, there's a couple of English guns i'm looking at that would blow my gun fund.

I wish this was a better website. The pictures of the guns are terrible. I tried building one in 28 gauge and could not get a good picture of the gun to see what it might look like. They need to get a much better site IMO.
