CRO Lever Rifle Pre-sale Revisited. - Page 2

I expect completion time on these at less than 3 months. I have already begun the process of making the castings and we are working the bugs out of that now. Once that is done, the rest of the work should fall into place rather quickly.

CRO-007 is still pending, CRO-009 is in the pipeline.

I should be ordering a plating rectifier and supplies within a week, that will add nickel plating and anodizing to my list of available services.

Stripped down the Streaks yesterday. Here's a shocker for you, the scroungiest, sorriest, looking one of them all have an extremely heavily ported valve in it. (McMurrey steroid valve?) Go figure. Unfortunately someone had overtightened the retainer and warped it. Anyway I'll de-barrel them this week. Barrel stock is on order and should arrive this week as well. I should start making the barrels next week.

Numbers 1-8 are gone, just two left now.

CRO-009 Is spoken for. One left now.

Got the old streaks stripped down today. Expecting another load of casting supplies in Weds so I'll return to mold making then. Barrel stock should be in later this week.

Ok now, get off the internet, get back to work. Where's my whip?

CRO-009 is gone and CRO-010 is pending to Duzzy.

Got the new casting supplies in today and that solved the present casting process crisis. We are currently make the batch of lost wax stand ins which will likely take several days to complete.

All ten are spoken for now. Nickel plating equipment is on order. Barrel stock has arrived.

Working on the casting process now, making the wax stand ins. Also have the mock up of the lever complete and I'm re-sculpting it to fit the streak stocks. I'll likely post pictures of the mock up lever when it is done so that everyone who is interested can see the difference.

Cool! Thanks for the updates, Scarecrow. I can't wait to see the lever mockups.

Thought I'd ask a random question to get this back to page 1:

Will the serial numbers be on the guns?
