I rebuilt mine cause I is stupid. The 510 firing pin that the flavor tube connects to is not meant to come apart. I tried to loosen it to take out the firing strip and snapped it in half. Had to order new parts. Since there is no ETA on the kit I had to order original parts so I am versed in the rebuild. Just curious how much more these kits will cost versus the current rebuild kit.

I am still waiting on a price for the gold plating . I am not looking to make a killing on these but the price will cover the extra cost for the upgraded contacts

The parts are not being made by me. I am having a spring company make the parts . It is taking longer then I had hoped but the ball is rolling . Bare with me guys they are coming voltage drop will be a thing of the past . As soon as I have a set date I will post it here . The first set of prototypes didn't make the grade

The Man is after perfection. And I always thought the Reo's we're perfect to start with.

It is the trifles that make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.
