Just wanted to let all of you know that I will be moving over to Specdive Tactical in Alexandria. My last full day at Blue Ridge Arsenal will be this Friday, Oct, 2nd. I have had a great time working at BRA, and thank them for bringing me on back in 2013. I will be setting up the new shop for the next 2 wks after I leave BRA, but will still be available to do small jobs and give shop tours. The shop will be approximately 1000sq ft with an indoor paint booth and hopefully a laser engraver within the next 5 months. Feel free to call me at the shop or IM me here. I felt is was time to make a move, and it all came together by chance.

Good luck on the new venture..

Laser engraving... can you go deep enough to satisfy the ATF requirements?

Well, that sucks. For my wallet.

Shorter drive probably means more trips.

So they're operating a retail store front now? I'll have to check that out.

Yes they are. Stop in and talk to Jerry or Don. Major good things happening daily there.

So today is moving day for the machines. New chapter starting. On the way now to get the flat truck. Hope weather holds.

any word if your laser goes deep enough to meet the ATF requirements?

Posted: 10/5/2015 10:16:02 PM EDT

[#13]

Yes the laser that I a looking to purchase will do ATF approved depth. So we got all the big stuff moved. Tomorrow is small stuff and clean up old shop. Electricians are wiring up the machines. Will be swamped with setting up shop for awhile.

Awesome.. let us know when you are up and running with your "laser beam"

Laser will be after first of the year. Electrical is all done and machines are set and running. This week is cleaning and setting everything else in place. New benches are in the works. New welder is on the way. Old welder is up for sale. After all is set in place, will be starting on the paint booth. Long days ahead to get it all done in a week plus. Still, if any of you are in the area, STOP IN!

Love to have you see the new shop.

[#18]

Just happened to see this, always cool to have a shop closer to me.

Do you guys have regular business hours now? I'd love to stop by, say hi and peruse :)

Posted: 10/14/2015 11:47:14 PM EDT

[#19]

Yep, 1000-1900 are the normal hours, I think. Sunday we are closed. I am setting up my gunsmith shop now but still can do small jobs. Feel free to stop in. More great things happening everyday.

Posted: 10/15/2015 5:42:23 PM EDT

[#20]

Cool, I'll try to swing by on Saturday to see whats happening :)

Posted: 10/15/2015 7:24:59 PM EDT

[#21]

I should be down that way Saturday morning and may have some time to stop in.

Posted: 10/17/2015 10:29:50 PM EDT

[#22]

Sorry to those that stopped by on Saturday, I guess we were closed due to training event at Echo Valley. That is a once a month thing I guess. I am in shop 1000-1700, M-F.

Have you riveted and finished an AKSU 74 (SBR) before? I've got a kit (Bulgarian, barrel included), an engraved Nodak receiver and a stamped form 1, but never got around to getting this thing finished.

Riveting is beyond my capability, and I'm not going to expierment with such an expensive bag of parts.

Yes, over 500 in the last 11 years. Most of them when I worked at Henderson Defense Industries in Las Vegas. I have all of the tooling to bend receiver flats and rivet all parts.

I'll be in touch sometime in the near future. SOT? Would there be legal problems win me leaving it with you? It wouldn't be a problem except that I am in the Richmond area.

We can do any and all work. Class 3/ MFG class 7 with SOT 2. We can build full autos for LE/ Mil, manufacture semi autos, suppressors, sbr's, sbs's and anything in between. I get guns sent I from all over the US for work.
