I am going to start cutting windows into a variety of magazines to look at the layout of the cartridges and how the follower works in conjunction with it.
I have know Ian for years. He plans on doing high speed stuff on our weapons both the ones we make and the reference collection. This camera is more then twice the speeds of Ian’s and will allow use to better look and study the operation of our weapons.
The site member that helped came up with some suggestions concerning stamping and the material to use. I will be have a much more detailed conversation in the future. I am hoping that I can get him to write up an article in the future.

what did they tell you about the 7.62x54r Bren gun magazine design ?

Ian McCollum also has a high speed camera , i dont know how practical it would be but if you ask i would assume he will help you ?

don’t worry too much about embarrassing yourself too much , as long as you aren’t a complete asshole or burned their place down you will be allowed to come back and talk with them again (or skype them)

what did you learn from the call you received from one of the members of this site about sheet metal and stamping ?

can we see the pages of notes of information that you have written down , a picture of a scan will do ?
