Four years is beyond crazy..... We are waiting on the last of a few parts we ran out of from heat treat and then we will start the assembly process again and clean the list up entirely. I will be sending emails to this effect to everyone on the list hopefully in the next 2 weeks or less. I...

Hi Lav, After my update on Feb 10th do you have some concerns I might address? Just curious as were are still chugging along...... Rick

Hi Everyone, It is true I have an idea what everyone is saying / thinking, without reading it on the forums, as it is the same thing I would be saying/thinking had I put up 100 dollars and waited patiently with no coms. I can tell you I am 65 and came off the 7 day a week work schedule...

I am posting this picture so those of you who not only have a rifle on order but paid for it a couple of months ago can see something. This is, at this stage of things a large group as I am the only one fitting/putting them together so being that I am both old and slow...... Well you get the...

Hi, We are getting oh so close and I am as ready as anyone for this to come to a close. As to making them look a bit beat up..... Decided to have an impromptu test of the resiliency between good old high temp enamel paint - closest we can get so far to the "stovetop lacquer" call out on...

I never tried to go through Dingo here for that but years ago when we first started the FG project I tried emailing SSD direct about this sort of thing and did not get a reply. Just dropped it for a number of reasons.

Actually it was an honest statement / question. We Can't pull this off but that doesn't mean others can't.

Wow those look cool! And at an amazing price..... Would love to know how you do small scale stampings with that price point. Want to do some stampings for us?

Hi agalland, Not until we have sent you a "are you interested" email and then finish them out to a point it all looks good to you. We are hoping the first rifle in the next 3-4 months. Seems like a long time but man time flies whether you are having fun or...

Thanks, I will tell him. Nope, we have a sinker EDM we use on some stuff but thats a pretty slow go. What you see, thats pure programming...... If you get the Ca. compliant thing going let me know. We still get folks wanting the rifle there.
