Post by psteiger »

I keep a running list of reasons to protest you. Just added "illegal Titanium screws."

I got it right - My second-to-last entry is "illegal custom screws."

Congrats on the win, Emmett. We shot in the rain in Biloxi.

I was going to make another "gun drilled" set to see if I could sneak the savings up over 100 grains..........The sick part is I started it this afternoon. I got sidetracked otherwise they'd be done. Too bad I have to go to work. I figure if I make a set for Dustin, he won't protest me. (over that). But then why should I do anything for that slimebag lawyer? Evelio told me to charge him double what it cost plus an irritation fee. :ymdevil: gun drilled titanium action screws. That has Paul Freeman written all over that. Especially if we can anodize or polish them. :D

Pat,

Please email me the name and address of your registered agent for service of process. I'm going to teach you the meaning of the word "slander."

Thanks.

The scariest part is that the only places titanium screws are normally used are in either medical applications or to hold aircraft together... Just where did the original metal come from, Pat?

Pat

The true Frankenhunter is torn down so that the trigger guard and new rings can be anodized blue. I have the action screws sitting on my bench if you need them to fit the titanium screws. Might as well have them anodized blue to match everything else. I want it to look good before I sell it to you.
