I've had a couple guys ask me if I could machine a few of these. I will be finishing up a small batch hopefully next couple weeks, possibly next month. Still waiting on a custom cutter to come in to finish them up. Will get some pictures up shortly.

If you have interest in one, please contact me through PM.

This is a SMALL batch and would rather sell them to members here before putting them on GB or ebay

It all starts with a concept.

Soon as the special order thread mill comes in the holes will get popped in and they will be finished.

I plan on selling them as they are in the white, but can arrange sending a batch out to friends who do finish work.

Looks great! What is the price range for these?

I really haven't figured price yet. Typically on projects like these when I do a small batch of one off items, I take the cost of tooling, materials, and time and divide it by the number of pieces made.

Expensive?

They are complex little buggers for what they are.

Very nicely done. Keep in mind that there are other venues for sale rather than eBay or Gun Broker. You are a member of at least one other board where members would be happy to find these for sale.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment.

Unfortunately, due to the forum rules I am not permitted to post on Gunboards, if that is the site you are referring to.
