Wow... I am humbled. You guys are the reason I do what I do, and do to the best of my ability. Yes, sometimes things get messed up a bit, but I am still only human. A human that my Dad told me he was proud of, but I am human all the same. I appreciate all the kind words, thoughts, and prayers that my family and I have received. You guys are the best.
Bail, I fully understand that the pain does go away, but it definitely takes time. Yes, it was a huge blessing that he went as quickly as he did, and did not suffer a long drawn out time. For that, I am truly thankful. He was a great man, that taught me alot, and gave so much of himself, so that his family, while not rich, was wealthy with love. He is missed.
Now, I am back in full swing of cutting and welding. I am building as fast as I can, but I will not compromise the final product. If I won't use it, it won't go to anyone else's hands. I had some magazines that I used some "what I had on hand at the time" epoxy, and I won't touch that stuff again. It didn't flow correctly, and flat out made a mess. Once it dried, it was next to impossible to remove. I ended up pushing a few magazines out that shouldn't have left, and it will not happen again.
Just to let everyone know, I am not building the long action 270/30-06 magazines anymore, unless someone has the BAR supplies on hand. I simply can't afford to may the $125 to $179 that people are wanting for them. So, I have stopped building these for the time being. The 204/223 magazines, still need some work on the design, so I am not building these magazines either. I hope to get a good final design for them soon, but I am up to my ears in building the 243/308 magazines at the moment.
So, with that said, all PM's have been answered. I apologize for the delay in response, but I will always respond. Things are much better now, and getting better every day!!
Thanks guys... and GOD BLESS!!
