Does this mean you'll be releasing a LoPro mount for Trijicon RMRs?

Not for usage as a primary sight. The only one I know of is for mounting on a HUGE ACOG (6x).

Link

Since the rail on the TA648MGO is so high, this mount was created to get the Trijicon RMR as close to the base as possible. In doing so, we offset the optic slightly to the left..no problem when using on top of the ACOG MGO. Note: this mount will not cowitness properly with irons, when used on a flat top as a primary optic).

Combo comes complete with QD adjustment wrench and Instructions.
NOTE: This mount is designed specifically for the Trijicon TA648MGO’s upper rail ONLY!
IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY ON ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION!!!

Instead of buying from a fellow Texan, I was forced to order ADM.

it works (mounted on 9mm Semi Auto MP5 clone), but I'd rather buy Texan. JMO.

ETA: while you're at it, can you have your guys jump right on designing and manufacturing an MP5 mount like the old Knights RAS that comes with an optics rail cantilevered back over the receiver? Thanks.

Good luck, mate.

I thought really hard about it. As much as I'd love to work there, and move to much better country than up wayyyy up here in the flat panhandle of TX; I need to finish my machining cert. classes and gain more shop floor experience than I have now.

I guess I'll just be content with machining Helical and Spiral Bevel gear blanks for now.

Do you hire people that are hugely overqualified but just need an excuse to have a home in Texas?

I'm seriously considering getting a job at a place whos administration and operations interest me just to see how it works.

I was going to apply for a position at WalMart today but the hiring computer was broken.

Thanks!

The HLV was made in 1951, and was the 20th HLV ever produced. It's in excellent shape, but it's now taken down to the major castings for paint and lube. It's a sweet machine.

Can you control the machines from a separate terminal?

It was amazing working in a production facility with similar machinery that could be run from the machine or from "command" stations (think a computer with the interface and controls that can control multiple machines). I could do anything short of load/unload machines from those stations.
