But I'm gonna do it when they are ready to do it.
Right now am finding the same difficulty getting someone to do an improved Mk125 bolt for 6mmARC that solves the thinned extractor claw problem....
Oh yeah, NRE is a cast iron beastthe troll of innovation.
I missed the bolt face depth spec in the 6mmARC thread. Is that design standardized on 0.125 depth?
Its volume that drives quality. Common parts grow volume, raising all ships so to speak. Id much rather see common parts where possible.
