Cool. Are you doing the brass swivel bushing and the T&E mechanisms?

Have you tried any of the larger spring makers, like

Vlier is one of the big names in spring pins and ball plungers:

Looks like you can also request modifications to stock items, probably a good chance they can cover your needs.

First, a typo, we're making an M3 tripod. At least the first few are using a steel bushing. The idea is to keep price low. I bought a T & E. It wouldn't be hard to make, maybe make a bunch later.

Our next project will be an MK93 shock mount

A search for "M3 tripod" brings a $1200 item.

Offer 'em up front for an extra fee, as KeepShooting does?

Where'd they come up with -that- price, anyway?

Got ammo?

Oh hell yes. Be sure to make a bolt down pintle mount for the box of your Toyota pick-up (Toyota pick-ups seem to be the brand choice of warlords everywhere) so you can have your very own Somalia style "technical". Maybe get some Sub-Saharan Africa looking gangsta sun glasses and one of those hajib doo-rags wrapped around your face to complete the look. Then, when the revolution heats up, you can drive around and blast holes in building walls until your city looks just like downtown Mogadishu.

And who wouldn't want to live in Mogadishu? Dave :)

Na, look at it the other way. If things turn into Mogadishu, it would be good to be needed by the folks driving those toyotas around.
