| Mark, congratulations on the numbers of MBTs and the new facility. Really cool movie also but I have a question that you may or may not be willing to answer; what can you tell us about the operation that happens in the water (if that is what it is) right before you cut to the laser marking of the trigger? |

That's wire EDMing ... tank fills with DI water, flush turns on, wire goes hot and begins a cut. |

1st of a series -
#1 documents the construction of our Great Trigger Hall. Why a Great Trigger Hall ? Because you guys have bought so many MBT triggers in such a short time, coupled with the volume going into our own rifles, not to mention .mil usage, we're approaching or have crossed the 14,000th MBT made and shipped. Took about 18 months and there is no end in sight. So, to shorten the lead time, from order received to order shipped, we needed to consolidate the setup, gather it up and put it ergonomically all together ... getting ready for the next wave. I kicked things off by carving out a large enough space out of our rough storage area in the back of one of our larger buildings, then duct-taped a GoPro on the wall, and off we went. Here's the photography equipment used to make the video. - Drone #1 - JI Phantom 4 - Drone #2 - JI Inspire Pro X5 - Sony NEX-FS700 SlowMo - Panasonic GH4 - GoPro Hero 3 Timelapse It's all a blur, but I'm thinking it took us about 4 weeks from start to finish. Those of you ordering triggers in the last couple of months have seen the "I can wait" lead time drop, and here's why ... and lead time is hovering around 3 weeks. If you'd like to jump in the line and get a trigger on order, go to www.IwantmyMBT.com it will hyperspace you onto the MBT trigger page of our website. Without further ado, do enjoy this 'How We Did It' video ... it's mesmerizing. Mark LaRue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9JXffvZ74k&feature=youtu.be
