Everything that you heard about Theis as a person or thought he knew was a lie. Really good with Google fu.Rarely will post anything in the Pit but I usually like the comments of @THEIS, @TheGerman, @clcustom1911. Always something to learn.
I know next to nothing about manufacturing a produce but was able to tell you cost & development time to bring up a IBM mainframe system. After the estimate I would add on 4-6 weeks because some people just did not have the same work ethic and just complained about not getting paid enough. Well, I retired 3 years ago.
With that preceding thought it is interesting to read about production problems making some of my favorite ‘toys’. While I really want a LM&T 308 I constantly get e-mail from Wilson Combat that they have product available in 308. I subscribe to their YouTube channel & a while ago there were many videos about the increase in production expansions & latest CNC machines. I do not know if Wilson material is the same quality as a LM&T tho.
I have not read here that Wilson makes a great 308 so I will wait with bated breath for a LM&T.

Yes. Worth it. Explains things that are crazy. If you don't want to take the time, use a podcast player that let's you speed things up. 1.3x is quite listenable. The story is worth it to get your brain unlocked of what you thought he knew. If you have seen references to asking if someone is named Louis this is where it's from. You will also see a good example of modern people with integrity in a crap situation.Over 3hrs...really?
How about the Cliffs Notes version.
Too many crazy stories to put in a cliff notes version. Besides if I shortened it you wouldn't believe me anyways.
