Duane said he hasn't had a request for this item. Any suggestions?

Mr Kolowsky: Ted is prefectly able to make this part. One part? I don't think so...About an hours programming time...then another hour to get the the tools in the carousel, another 30 minutes to get the offset...and then..if you get the stock sawed out, you can start poduction..on the frames. Then repeat the above scenario to get the floorplate programs in place

Realisically, the first part costs about $1000.00 (for the frame) then the first floorplate...another $1000.00.

Ater the third or so part (tweaking the program) you can finally start production...the rest of the run gets less expensive as the numbers go up,,,never reaches "zero" but you get the idea..

I figure a run of 30 parts is the break even point. I'm sure Ted has reached the same rough figures.

I think an order for 100 parts would put the operation firmly in the black...maybe not!

This ain't a get rich scheme. If it were you'd have dozens of machine shops turning this stuff out like popcorn.

The biggest problem with calling Maggie is their phone has been disconnected.

I don't disagree with you one bit.

However, sometimes when business is real slow its better to have something to do than nothing to do.

The worst thing that could happen would be for Ted to say NO.

sp Kolosky

Actually, the worst that could happen is he says yes, payment is sent, no product is shipped. It could happen.

...Visited the site...More power to him. There's no way that I'd even consider making aluminum, plastic and other precious metal parts. ....yuck!

OK I'm in for two. No advance of funds, but I'll accept COD...anyone else?

22wrf,
I have had no response to my call to her cell phone. I'm going to order a regular 98 from Duane as I know I will get it. It can be made to work.

Are you going to have to cut and weld it?

I would also like to know because I have a similar modification to make.

22wrf, If that is my only choice, I do know that Duane will ship. That is better than chasing a ghost and hoping. I guess I am the bad guy in this.

Hey Butch: Here's what I propose: Remember way back I advised that we had to scrap an entire run because of an impoper placement of the magazine box?

The Mexican box fits perfectly...except the front tang is too short...So....I use the "scrap box" and weld the front tang to the Mex box and viola!

Of course, I'll now be able to send all my grandkids to college! HAR!


I'll put this together and send it to you. You like..pay me...don't like..throw it away!

Pretty hard to turn that down.
Thanks Butch

Oh yeah...forgot...100% penetration..... send to Joe for X-ray!

Good idea when dating Catholic girls in the 1960s und 1970s.

A good work around technique was to start putting a full court press on Mama. Some times it ended in a shutout and shotgun blasts, but it could, and has turn out in a delitefull way that you would never have guessed while popping zits in the mirror just prior to the big date. Catholic boys prayer, "Dear God in heaven, please let Gina's mom be the head reffery and have her accept when I volunteer to put the chairs away (Gina has already dumped you for either a jock or a stoner). Get a ride hom from mom. Ask here to stop 1/2 way through the city park, "hey Mrs. Gina's mom could we go for a walk........"

Like turkey hunting with a mouth, box, leg bone or slate call, the trick is to call quietly, and not very often.

Keep your mouth shut, except quietly and in the line of duty.

'Er, sorry, I guess I became sidetracked.
