Mack Bolan, the Executioner, was fond of the LAW rocket for taking out mafia vehicles, so that’s my uninformed vote.

Wait, what?
The cut out piece of the tube was not included with either of the demilked ones I bought. The guy that did the welding for me had to machine a whole new part (curved and tapered) to fit in the cut-out hole in the tube. Fortunately, I didn’t have to be there for the machining, just the welding. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If you don't mind me asking, what was the ball park for the machining/restoration, after you got your tax stamp? |

If you don't mind me asking, what was the ball park for the machining/restoration, after you got your tax stamp? There's the machining of a new piece for the tube, and welding it in. The problem with that was not so much the cost, but finding someone WILLING to do it. I spoke to a number of people who were able (and initially seemed willing), but who then backed out. Presumably the potential liability of welding something that might LITERALLY blow the head off someone if it fails, was not something that was appealing to them. Once I found someone who was both willing and able, the machining and welding was about $500, which was incredibly reasonable, IMO.
Beyond that, however, is also the repair of the existing firing pin and/or the manufacture of new pins. Machining new pins is actually pretty difficult, and involves a CNC machine, since the pin is two parts, and one part is quite complex. So that has its own cost associated with it, which is still being determined. Repair (of the demilled pin that comes with the gun) is pretty easy for a machine shop - and one generous arfcommer repaired one for me for free - but making new ones is hard. Another friendly arfcommer is currently repairing my demilled pin, and I have a machinist working on manufacturing new ones. Finally, I am having a machinist make new casings for reloading. The existing casings (and I have a few) have VERY thin walls. So I decided that in order to add an additional level of safety, it would be nice to have new casings machines with MUCH thicker walls. Currently he is working on steel casings with 1/4" thick walls, which will probably cost $150-$200 per casing. So all of that will of course add up. If I end up with four casings, and a couple of spare firing pins, I'd estimate about $1500 - plus however much it will cost to cerakote it some day. Reloading will clearly have substantial cost associated with it, depending on what we decide to use as projectiles, powder, burst disc, etc. |
