Who does it now? M60 Joe is retired, not ADCO nor Taccom. Been trying to get Macon Armory.

Gary's Bunker took up where M60joe left off after Joe retired - prior to his retirement Joe was recommending Gary as his successor.
Now with more political fatigue.

WECSOG... I switch out to a dedicated "Glock" lower from a .223 lower with a mag adapter and a went to a Glock mag bolt. So I have the replaced parts in a cardboard box. I have been tempted to take a file to ramp the "Colt" pattern bolt.  I am courious what a ramp cut would cost.
So... I find comfort in the fact that if Trump has to work so hard to go to Heaven, then there is a shit load of Democrats that have no f-cking chance to go anywhere but HELL. Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer.

Check out the blowback9 bolt info page, depending on where you bought the bolt, it might not need it as most bolts are already ramped these days.

https://blowback9.wordpress.com/2023/11/09/9mm-bolts/

Also down near the bottom of the page is a section detailing various ramp dimensions found on different bolts.

With sales during the holiday, it may be cheaper and easier to find a new bolt thats already ramped vs. paying a machine shop to modify one, especially since most these days are nitrided and that always seems to get a premium charge for any machine work since its a much harder surface to machine.

I have a Faxon, and Kaw Valley, 9mm bcg. The one that needs ramping is an older Colt. The difference is obvious. I don't want one sitting around I don't want to use. Macon Armory quoted me $75+shipping.

In that case it does make sense for sure. I had M60Joe ramp one for me 20yrs ago and  it ran well and fixed some issues I was having.

Wonder if Macon would notch some Uzi mags like Joe used to do, thats another of his services I miss and still have a pile of mags needing the slot cut.
