With the SAR show coming up quick the main push at Gun Lab is to finish out the VG1-5 project. Not all the rifles will be built prior to SAR, but the parts will be completed and the first 3 rifles will be completed. That is my goal at least. So right now we are […] I am a little behind just coming back from a 10 day trip through the mid west states. So today was a work day in the shop. The major projects right now are finishing all the parts for the VG1-5, you know the hole that needs to be drilled or the slot that needs to […] What a shop to work in. And to think that the people that work in my shop complain about the working conditions. I just don’t want to hear about the benches not being the right height or that we need a new cnc machine.

With any luck I will have the concrete completed in October. This weekend is also honey-do weekend as well. The tile needed to put down in the hallway and bathroom and the new lighting installed. This […] We have finished what I think is the last of the designing work on the chamber fluting press. Next week after the die is off the HAAS machine we will start machining the individual components. So here is the final design.
