Well, I'll be starting back work on it today (after cutting the wretched grass). I also got a PM from Buckshot saying my custom, one-off, super cool, special Krag action nut was ready and shipping out! A BIG SHOUT OUT TO HIM FOR HIS SUPERB, TOP-NOTCH, SECOND TO NONE MACHINING ABILITIES!!! The piece of stock he used turned out to be 4140 carbon steel. He said he found this out when his HSS end mill went to a better place after the first cut. It is going to come in handy, especially since I just picked up ANOTHER Krag project. I think this one is going to be a shameless Griffin and Howe knock-off (or rip-off, however you want to look at is), but that's another project thread, another day.
Anyway, haven't gotten much done due to my son being out of school for the summer and he gets completely bored to the point of drooling when I am working in the shop and he has to be out there with me. I have to keep and eye on him or he disappears and the next thing I know, he is writing his initials in the lawn with RoundUp or trying to set the dogs on fire, etc.
