This is an end of year update for what has been happening at Gun Lab.
This last year has been a very busy one. The VG1-5 is moving along. We have programmed the Sharps machining center to make the hand guards, video coming soon. A new welding fixture has been made to straighten and weld up the Vg1-5 receiver, again another video is coming. A great deal of time and effort was spent on the fluting press and new fluting tool design as well as the procedure we use to actually do the fluting. There has been a video on that and it works perfectly.
The hot forging press has had its hydraulics hooked up and tested. There are a couple of dies in the design phase for the next major rifle project, solid models are complete.
The new storage room is complete and filled.
The library is being worked on.
My work load has been massive, but I have promised one of my loyal followers , one of 5 that I have, some kind of update.
Well, at least you made the effort for the update. Keep up the great work, we look forward to the final product.
I wish I had the time to come visit but I got the same problem…busy, busy, busy! We all(5 of us)know how busy you are.
Another one of the loyal followers checking in. I’m sure hoping I live long enough to see many of these excellent projects reach completion.
There are more than 5 of us I am sure. I was beginning to wonder if all was well since there haven’t been any updates for some time.
Your estimate of 5 is way Low. I Just had the joy of typeing this 5 times till I got thru the Damn captcha code crap
There is definitely more than 5 of us. As a beginning machinist, CNC programmer and gunsmith; your work is a source of great inspiration for me. Thank you for that and the update.
I was concerned
Hi Chuck,
number 5 here
Still missing the one female follower you are said to have …
there is definitely more than five of us. I may not comment often but I check the website everyday I have internet.
You’re doing great, far more than 5 followers. Keep on doing a great job of popularizing the history and technical innovations involved in firearms design! Plus the VG looks neat.
