Update on Rear sight tool

[Rustship]

Took the tool over to my cousins shop this morning, and he can fix. Walking around his shop he showed me one of his machines with an AR-15 lower receiver in it. Seems he is manufacturing lower receivers for an outfit called Black Rifle Company. These machines are amazing guys, he told me that after machine gets through, there is no finishing at all, other than having to coat the receiver with the black matte finish. He said this machine is fully automated. I just find that amazing. We both started at AT&T 36 years ago. He resigned after 10 years to continue his Machining Career on his own. I had reservations about it and stuck it out with the Phone Company. Now I drive a Ford F250 and he drives a brand new corvette, and has a 52 ft twin deisal Hatteras yacht at the Yacht Basin at Clear Lake. I took some pics with my cell phone, but they do not do this receiver justice. I'll be getting one of the low serial numbers of one of these receivers. His Production roll is just starting. There of course is no charge on my tool, Blood is thicker than water LOL.

I like your pic below your signature. Ever been on stevesnovasite.com?

I like the look of fresh machined parts, seems a shame to coat them.

Never have been there, I'll look. Just put this on today. I'll keep it there a while and then put in my 69 Camaro.

Since this is Rustships's thread, I don't think it would be a problem if you guys went off topic for a minute and posted a photo of the cars you're making me drool over. (Just don't tell the moderators!)

This isn't my '70 Mustang in the photo, but I had a cherry, low mileage MACH I that looked exactly like this one in the photo. I bought in 1979 from the original owner. She was an older lady and always kept in in her garage. I let my (then) friend borrow it a few years later and he totaled it.

Phillydude,

We have a weekend car show here every weekend, not 2 miles from my house. It brings in up to 600 classic's and hot rods every weekend, in a Kroger Parking Lot. Texan's like Hot Rods and Gun Show's.

My wife says I have too many toys.

If your wife says you have too many toys, maybe you have too many wives....

My ex got the clue when I brought in a gun safe. Her statement was "I suppose you plan on filling that thing up..." Talk about famous last words!!!

[Rustship]

Tired,

You are right, but I have more invested in her than all of my toys.
