how about a shop walkthrough, a "virtual tour" in which you show the magic behind the curtain?
i'd like to see the mills, if they're mills, or workstations? |

Hey Mike, I'll be up in your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks, any chance of a tour of the shop, complete with freebies at the end of the tour? Just kidding, about the freebies, but it would be nice. Oh, and don't forget about the photo session with all the visitors. |

And now I know why they looked AWESOME when I got them! You just don't see service like that very much anymore. |

What if you hired them to polish receivers and just took pictures of them at work? Wait...no, thats a harassment lawsuit and I love your receivers more than pictures of pretty girls.

While watching you polish the lower...at first I thought. How can he tell if he misses a spot? Then further viewing saw your multiple jigs if you will for accessing the different sides/areas, but even then you inspected the receiver a few times, put it back and hit it again. That's a lot of work just to prep one receiver for anodizing, that is out of your hands. It must "be a stinker" to get a batch back with blems after all that hard work. Great Video. I also enjoyed your AR180 video.

Blems or not I believe all my NDS lowers will be in a Trust very soon.
Thank You for the video Mike, it's worth the wait. |

Thanks for the kind words and the comedic relief.
Luckily I don't have to polish the NDS-18S, just de-burr all the sharp edges. Those only take about 5 minutes per part. |

Mike, thanks for sharing, this gives us some heads-up on what's required with your up-coming 80% lowers, hint, hint, hint!!

Mike just out of curiosity which lower comes back with the most blems? I'd personally think it would be the 601 lowers because of the larger flat surface, but then again the M16A1 lowers have more nook and crannies to polish.

Great video. I'll be buying one of your M16A1 lowers shortly for my retro rebuild.

Good vid. Makes me want to go hug my 2008-purchased (pre-panic, but not by much) NDS-16A1 lower now.
