Bill,

Great to see your progress on this. Persistence is paying off.

You must be getting close to success..............the setbacks are coming more often !!!!!

The great thing about CAD/CAM/CNC is watching what the computer can make the servos do and in turn the mill do.............the worst thing about it is the ivolvement of fickle computers.

You're certainly getting good use out of your EDM, as problematic as it seems to be, it's certainly saving a lot of milling time/milling cutters.

If I'm reading it right you'll be assembling the trigger plate on the action and then machining it along with the underside of the action !!!??? If you can combine this with fixing it with a timed oversize assembly screw it will remove one more process for you.

As you will be producing double rifles and shotguns, and you have a leaning towards mechanisation, will you be using a stock duplicator/pantograph to rough out your stocks ???

I never did manage to make the film clips work. It may be just my technical ineptitude though.

Keep up the good work.
