More design work has been accomplish on the fluting press. Here are the latest updates on the project. This is the last major difficulty on the VG1-5 rifle. Most of the rest of the parts for the VG1-5 have been completed and have the fixtures for the bolt to upper receiver. I still have the […] We finished the new knurling tool this last weekend and this is a post about the new tool. I have been using the Shars knurling tool for a while and was continuing to have problems with it so it was time for a change. The pivot pins are very loose which causes the tool to […] Sorry for the late update. It has been a little busy and now with school starting again I found myself out of time.

After the first op, which is the lathe op, […] Most of my friends know that I am a little different. Generally when I call or e-mail them to let them know what is going on at gun lab there first comment is always why don’t you just work on one project until you complete it. There is a real good reason that I do […] I had a small project that need an EDM to accomplish. So it was off to my neighbors house to use his home made EDM.
