    Starting on the Op1 programming of the rings now.

    I'd be grateful. The address on the shop site is where to send it. Www.longriflesinc.com

    If you are talking about this, that is an easy solution. This is my personal M40 glass. Edit: I'm on the phone with Ryan right now. After sending him some text pics of this thing, this is the M40A3 variant. The optic also has the "manhole cover" conversion. Assuming I understood him...

    The difference between pink and purple is the grip!

    I did too. It's been a curse my whole life. Except for that one thing. You know... lol.

    Here's the initial model/assembly. The rings are now at the correct installed height.

    In an effort to avoid these things ever being advertised as original, I'll whittle the shop initials on the bottom of the front receiver ring pad between the two screw holes.

    The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff

    There is an ever-growing pile of stuff that I am starting on. The most current project is a dissection of an M40 base and ring set. We took delivery of this today as well:

    Here's where I'm at thus far, and I'll share what I plan to do about the rings attaching to the base. These rings begin life on a lathe. They are profiled and parted off. Then it's vise work and pretty simple. My guess is the upper and lower portion of the ring is made all at once. The two...

    Status: Base fundamentals are modeled. Now for the ring package... I have a solution. More on that in a minute. I have to model up the rings first. I'm more or less updating this post in real time so bear with me.

    Tangent corners.... The same part features, but look closer as the arcs are no longer tangent to the right vertical feature.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    So, down the rabbit hole, we go on this. If we take a big (BIG) step back and look at this thing, some small but key details reveal themselves. Diving a bit further, I start to think about the gun industry as a whole and how it has been rather cottage for a very, very long time. If you...

    We've been hinting around at this for the last few weeks. The artifact parts have arrived and I am about to start with the modeling work. I feel like I'm holding something from a Raiders of the Lost Arc movie. So it begins. I'll post some additional photos as I progress through the autopsy.

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    That makes it a snap. We'll be shipping in the AM gents.

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    Oky doke folks! I had my friend from down the street (a gorilla that used to run the RCS) take a look at them. Thumbs up so we'll start boxing stuff up.

    Pacific Tool & Guide...The love keeps coming

    After cleanup in the blast cabinet. Adhesion up front is good. Creep on the rear reveals 100% adhesion across both parts.

    Pacific Tool & Guide...The love keeps coming

    I have a few T&T jobs to catch up on this am so I snapped some photos to show what's involved with this service. Parts being sterile is a big deal with this. No traces of oils, solvents, residual blast media, solder, paint, or any other funk can be present. Otherwise the weld quality goes...
