Here is a Picture of my Son-in-law's new flatside SSK-50. He hasn't got to shoot it yet, but hopefully soon.

Come on guys let's see them

I looked on their site. Seems they are out of stock and no price listed. At least I didn't see one. I like it. May have to get on a waiting list for one.
 
They are currently filling backorders. Im pretty sure new orders are $395 for either flat side or lynx etched side. you can get on a list I believe.
 
I'd like to get rid of the plastic stock I have on mine without spending a years wages. I like the bench rest style that tred1956 has on his pistol but it would need to be for a rifle. The Encores are OK but the Contenders are just classier to me.

I do love bench rest forearms

Does anyone offer one?
 
New Flatside SSK-50 has arrived. Haven't shot it yet but did trigger job yesterday. Finished assembly. Next move is range time.

Just shot about 40 (6mm BB IMP) shots fireforming brass. Didn't get the rest out just wanted to see how brake and frame worked together. Was shooting off block of wood with folded towel. Easily stayed under 1.5 inches at 100 yards. Brake virtually eliminated recoil. Frame locked up smooth and solid. Had that click you love to hear/feel on lockup. Opened very easy and functioned flawless. It will NOT be my only SSK-50. I loved both new SSK-50 Frame and My APA Little Ba$tard Brake. My 6.5mm BullBerry IMP barrel will soon be headed to Troy at BB Legacy. Super nice Guy and does Top Notch Work. I could not be more Satisfied. Will get some target picture soon.

Top two are 6mm BB IMP Bottom two are 6.5 MM BB IMP. 6.5 BB IMP is probably going to Troy at Bullberry to be threaded Next.

Sounds like a neat cartridge!! I had an SSK 30-30 improved but for some reason they put a 7 twist in their 30-30 AI barrels. I assume it was to shoot heavy pills suppressed as it was also threaded. It never shot the lighter weight bullets to my satisfaction so I sold it. I didn't want it for heavy bullets and until I got on the SSK site I wasn't aware of the twist. I bought it through an individual that had several NIB SSK barrels. Not only very disappointed but took a huge hit when I sold it. Lesson learned.
 
Have mine off and on since August 2023 been back to SSK twice == 22 LR barrel would not open sent to SSK two weeks later ok installed 410/45 same ,two weeks back works fine out of ten barrels others ok service is top notch

I know this original post is a year old, but the question still relates.
I've read some shooters are having issues with the Bullberry barrels. Any issues with yours?
