I'm open to suggestions and reasonable requests. I work in a very gun-friendly environment, to put it mildly. We do have a couple of smaller (24x36 and 36x48) CNC machines, as well as a CNC lathe and a CMM. If anyone is interested I could try and put together a short list of my special tools available for loan, including such items as form-fit Luger barrel fixtures and auto pistol slide fixtures. Also have made unique tools to work on such things as 1917 Savage pistols (disassembly and reassembly of the bolt head), and a lot of High Standards (one of my passions). Also have items for working on Hi-Powers. I made myself a set of slim grips for one of my combat Hi-Powers, because, while I have large fingers, they're rather short, and with a normal grasp, I could touch the clip release, but not depress it (with the factory fat wood grips). Using my new micarta grips - which don't look too bad - which are flush with the frame sides, and secured with flathead socket head screws, I can now press the release as well, from a normal shooting grip. The clip safety has been removed on this one, to facilitate quick mag changes on the fly.

I have spent most of my life solving problems by dreaming up machines to take care of them, usually high-volume auto production pieces, and now in my old age (64) am having fun doing more of what I like to do and less of what I have to do.
