Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Think I passed the heart doctor. Took me off 2 congestive heart failure medications. Scheduled a echocardiogram for June.

 

Here in Phx is a balmy 80. Not too bad. Thanks for taking the heat.

 

Customer told us there were 600 of these parts, they brought 3 boxes marked 150 in each



They wanted them packaged 100 to a box so I put a repeat of 99 on the mill to tell me when it hit 100.



Wound up with 430 pieces, somebody can’t count somewhere. Not my problem.

 

Fret ye not. You're not the only one...

 

they cant even get to 450....

 

One box had 150, one had 131, one had 149

 

close enough


Charge them for 600

 

@308savage have the mini 14's really gone up as much as I see them on the internet for?

I bought this one a few years ago, did some add ons though

 

Yes, they've exploded in price

 

Any idea why?

I felt bad for paying so much for this one used

Spoiler

$600 I thought was too much

 

they always been higher priced

 

You stole that. The mini 14's and mini 30's have become super popular and expensive... not entirely sure why besides they're better than an AR

 

I’ve always liked them, plus it’s a Ruger. I think when the SHTF, they went up like everything else.

 

Good to hear about the MRS.

Talking about Tools Early on I just started to buy 3 of every thing the more common I ended up with way more. I was lucky I had a 2 Great Snap On dealers Matco and Mac dealers. Most of my Sub pay went to buying tools in the early days.

Tools for the Shop at home Tools that lived in my Work Gang Box Tools that lived in Vehicles Tools bought off cash strapped co workers and friends.

To bad most everyone is scattered across the country I sure could down size my tools Consumables I never figured my Fabrication days would stop so soon though it was in the back of my mind it could happen

 

Find a Brass and Copper radiator do what needs done to make it work. I have these in all my vehicles but the Ford 7.3

Though with the prices now I have no clue what it would cost.

 

It can be a tax write off for them!

Your shop can make them cheaper when you compare the loss in billable hours if they do it in house.

This is a very common practice even I have done it.

Just random numbers I bill at $100.00 an hour I can farm out work that gets billed at $75.00/hour I don`t lose that time doing in house work.

 

Was the Chain embedded in the log?? One of those where did that come from?

 

Headed for the camp to get it dialed in how we like for the weekend. Everybody have a good weekend.

 

Have a good one too!

 

Funny How the wood stock and the small magazine make then look so plain!

Dress them up they become a evil looking Military Weapon( Not my description ) Having had a Few over the years!
