Is there a need for more Cdn made AR parts?

That's one of the biggest gambles of doing parts in stages.

There is always a chance of having a part ruined during machine processes, the skill of the machine operator and program writer determine alot of what the possibility of a NFG part will be.
I would like to know how you figure that there is a 100% potential for failure?
Are you basing this failure rate on your own personal experience??
In my experience the failure rate is higher with apprentices running machines and writing programs than with Journeymen doing the work, which is to be expected.
 
Tools wear and break, clamps slip, the power goes out, some one hits the wrong button, etc. That's just how it is.

I'm in no way specifically referring to your work, just machining in general, especially during the proving out of a process. Basically, s**t happens. It's a fact of life.

x2. When the initial prototypes were being made for the T97 mount I went down there to check out how it was going,the CNC guys had no fewer than six ruined ones in the box when I got there.:(. Then, more than half of the mounts I ordered in the first batch were ruined by the annodizers:mad:. And I made a very small batch. In no way did I blame the CNC shop, they do first rate work. Unfortunately this stuff happens. That's why QC is so important after the run is done, thers lots of little stuff to go wrong. It was a steep learning curve for me.

Ok so despite some set backs we now have a proof tested model that is CFC approved.
The set backs were loosing access to a second CNC machine and having 1 set of fixtures stolen.:mad:
We are now into fulltime production and should be starting to do transfers early next week. :D
In order to maintain reasonable costs will be running batches to our anodizer rather than 1 or 2 lowers at a time.
My apologies for this taking longer than we anticipated but we did want to get these perfect and feel we have done just that.:cool:
Here is what #1 looks like.
I realize that it is NOT anodized and that there are many missing or loose parts, we just wanted to show what a finished rifle will look like.
We did have it all put together for test firing, but took it apart for the CFC guys to fondle. I point this all out to avoid the inevitable comments:rolleyes:

Fire control markings will be as previously offered in 2 positions only as per CFC, I chose this style for the CFC guys to keep them happy:eek:

AND for Helen Keller a magwell that she can really appreciate, even fits the P mags nicely.
