I am using panaceabeachbum bolt assy and it worked the first time without any problems. Very nice machining and well done modification. I got the 8mm loader mod kit from him a couple months ago and it was also nicely done. Pirate's bolt and firing pin designs look good, but at the time I is was ready to get one he was in the process of developing his new design.

Seems I just read that he has been swaped from the holiday back log - and I think (maybe) he had recently changed his email. I could be wrong about that though - I will try to contact him and pass the word that he is being looked for over here.

Hi Guys, just been extremly busy, I bought a new machining center and new turning center in hopes of freeing up some time but have taken on a couple of military contracts and free time is even harder to find. I am still making the grip housings and doing bolt conversions.
I have aprox 40-45 qty of the hopper conversion parts laser cut . If anyone is interested I would sell the stamping die and the laser cut blanks for exactly what I have in them, would also include the cad files so you can have more blanks cut by either laser or water jet.
I am adding two more machining centers and a couple of more employees over the next month and hopefully will have some free time to catch up on all the post I have missed reading , I hope to find time to run a bunch of semi m60 parts this summer also, I have 25 or so trunions done and am running rails and semi FCG parts as time allows. My plan(hopes) on the 60 is to offer a turn key semi rec pending atf approval. Here is my email , just remove the NOSPAM
