A future gun project......

I've always been fascinated with the rifle used in the book "The Day of the Jackal" (the book, not the awful Bruce Willis movie). I think it would be a nice project some day to build a rifle with a removeable bolt handle and trigger with a small receiver. I think a 17 HMR with a 16" thin barrel and wire stock would make a neat hideable rifle. BTW read the book, it's one of the best fiction books I've read. The original movie was pretty good, too. It's about an assasination attempt on Charles DeGaulle and that's all I'll say.Here is link for movie trailer.
