    How did it go today Bob. Rick, Don and I got 36 made up today, 26 straight, and 10 different rotates, the same last weekend, thats 72 in the last 2 weeks. BC is selling them almost faster than we can make them. We seem to have a lot of rookies joining up your way, and down in our area. Now we got to just keep them battling. See you in March.

    We got 50+ built but only 2 put together and tested. The rest will get tested 2-8-09 at our next building day. The only thing we have left to do is clean the burs off the barell safety pin holes. We did a lot, 70?, of extra barrels since we had the material.
    The way we build the guns it takes about 2 hours each to get it done.
    The BC style has a lot less cutting and milling of the breachs & Ts so it would go a lot faster. I spent all day Saturday and a couple hours Sunday milling parts.
