It's been awhile.... I figured I should check in to let Bob, SMP & Uncle Slavia know that I'm still alive.
Crazy year. I chose to be quiet while dealing some health issues. Lots of heart testing, blood work, trips to the chiropractor and so on. It's official, I'm getting old quick & hello type II diabetes. Now that these issues have been addressed and I am getting out to the shop more. Next year should be much better.
Carrie has been helping out in the shop recently. TGFC!
But... it comes with a trade off... I have to help spin her yarn. NO, you won't get pics of me at her spinning wheel! :beguiled: Spinning... as if a grown man playing with BB guns isn't weird enough...

She's a natural at porting. All her knitting paid off with great mathematical counting skilz... She made her notes and can do all our porting patterns now... 20, 32, 40 & Spiral.
Now if I could teach her how to do threading on the lathe... :icon_mrgreen:

We finally finished up this year's batch of stock adapters. Woooo Hoooo!:applouse:
Whole new design!
Offset to make it easier for open sights and lower profile scope rings. You spoke, I listened. :awink:
In addition to our Tippmann 98 Custom line, we added a new design that is threaded for AR-15 style buffer tubes which gives the customer more choices of butt stocks for their Crosman 13 & 22xx air guns.
I'm still waiting for my tooling buddy to knock out a drill guide for another version for next year. (Patent Pending)

I found the stock I want to use for my new .25 cal bench rifle. They did not list a price on their website and I'm afraid to ask how much...

We are going to try to knock out a few more runs before closing up the shop for Winter.
Thank all of you for your support and kind words.

Joe & Carrie
