You think would be having interest, such as the outside of buildings and the inside of offices with associated locations listed.

My experience with ATF was really very nice. The agent was at my shop several hours. He checked out the shop, security at the shop and the product that we were going to make. It was a very nice time and I learn a great deal.

Yes to the question of the “Safety Sear”. The disconnector will be mounted in the trigger mechanism box. We looked at one mounted in the upper rear top cover, however it would be easy to fire the weapon with the top cover removed that way.

I like what I see. Great design work.

Are you still planning on using a bolt activated “Safety Sear”? I don’t see it in the Fire Control Group picture. Is it receiver mounted?

I for one am looking forward to some post stating that these guns will be available for sale. Harry
