I'd buy a couple more if they came in brass...hint hint.
Wow! I definitely see now why you say the body is the hardest/longest part! 7ish minutes for one? If there was even 100 purchased.. that's a 11 hour job easy right there!
Looks so precise and careful... someone did a great job programing that thing!
I'm sure what you saw was their program to machine stainless steel, which is harder than brass. So, as brass, it is possible to turn those out faster.

@David-
What is the total manufacturing time that It will take for one ELA from start to finish?

One also has to figure in prep and assembly, so it's yet to be determined, but i don't think it will be too bad, these are very finely machined as is, which cuts down on the prep work![]()
Im getting so anxious, I know not how to contain myself. I find myself constantly browsing all my usual sites, getting tempted by PVs and I have to mentally slap myself. I have to calm down and remember I have something better coming soon.
It's funny, I don't give a rodent's posterior about any other mods now... with the possible exception of something nice in a 14500 size. The only things on my wishlist for now is the Vapemate, and some better RBAs to upgrade my cheapies. Oh, and some T-tips and additional batteries. Wonder if I'll ever "break even" with what I would have spent on analogs![]()
