Thanks for the link! I signed up.
I have an Armalite AR-50A1 .50 BMG on it's way to me. (
AR-50A1 .50 BMG, BLACK).
Customer wants a jeweled bolt, trigger job, fluted barrel and some other stuff done to it. I've never worked on one of these, but have on other Armalite rifles. Guy's willing to drop $5k, but I'm honestly not sure what can be done for that ammount. A bolt
jewel and trigger job are going to be ~$2,000. Not sure what else I can do to it. I really need to research and see if I can glass the stock. He also might want a suppressor, but that's not 100% yet. Either way, it will have a 6" group at 1,000 yds when Im finished with it. I test all of my custom weapons and if they don't live up to my standards, I re-do it.
James, You should look at
PRP~ Perfecting Your XD/XDM!. They have a drop in trigger kit that is SUPER easy to install. It'll reduce the pre-travel of your trigger by ~75%, lower the pull weight to 4-4.5 pounds and make the reset instant. It's super easy to install; PRP has vids on their sight. Get the 'drop in', as you don't have to fit/file anything.
Also, check out
www.xd-hs2000.com. James is good people with the BEST prices on night sights, which I HIGHLY recommend for a HD gun. Buy from him, send your slide to him and he installs for free. You'll have your gun back in 5-7 days. The XD sight dovetails are a ...... They're so damn tight that I ruined several sets of Trijicon night sights before sending it off to him. He also did the Gunkote Leopuld bronze on my XD sub compact. Really good guy with excellent communication.
NO, I don't work for him. Just a very happy custy after having him put night sights on 10 of my pistols and refinishing 3 slides.
For ammo, look at Federal HST jacketed hollow points or Winchester Ranger T-Series 147gr +P+ (+P+ means ~15% higher charge).
This is going to be fun! I also just dropped off some rough forged 1911 frame and slide off at my machine shop. Guy wants a totally custom 10mm(!) 1911. He gave me artistic freedom, so I'm thinking about Gunkoting it KG Gunkotes new Leopuld bronze on the slide and satin black on the frame. He also wants a trigger job and sights. Not sure what kind yet. I'll also be dropping the barrel off at the machinist for an 11* barrel recrown. I also might bob tail the grip for easier concealment.
I'm really thinking of switching things up, making gun smithing my full time gig and glass on the weekend. I can make MUCH more income with 1/2 the work.
OH, V! FYI, I had a Dr. appt today with the surgeon that did my CT surgery. He says it's going to probably be 4-6 more weeks, possibly 8 before I can blow glass.
Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgot about you. In fact, I think about the
tanks several times a day that will blow every other glass
tank out of the f'ing water.
