Howdy y'all!
I think I'm sinking deeper into the dreaded RBRD. Slapping an A1 upper onto an A2 lower no longer alleviates the symptoms! 
I've picked up a few 80% lowers from Tactical Machining and would like to have one re-profiled and get it engraved with some retro-ish "roll marks". I've seen the name "braceman" tossed around when this type of work is discussed, but, for the life of me can not find a way to contact said individual. Is he a member here? Any help would be appreciated |

How do you search for members lol.. |
| I've used NoDaks 80 percenter when I wanted the most authenticity. They aren't the least expensive route, but offer details that few, if any, other 80's have. In particular, I like that they leave the heavy forge line inside and behind the trigger guard area. I've also reprofiled the bolt release pin bosses, and used a large milling cutter to redo the slot between the frt pivot pin ears......but those two mods are relatively easy to do. |

If you are doing a 601, 602, 607 any slab side, you want a Nodak for the + on the right side. Another option out there too is member DZyner I see both his and Johns work come across my bench regularly for threading jobs and I honestly don't know who's I like best. John can re-profile and does a wonderful job of it, whereas Rog just engraves. My builds are about 50/50 Rog and John and I am pleased with both equally  Roger [email protected] or John [email protected]  IMG_3825 by Deer Hunter, on Flickr" /> IMG_3824 by Deer Hunter, on Flickr" /> |

Quoted: Rog did a few A2 lowers for me. I was quite happy with the results. http://i.imgur.com/rR2acgs.jpg?1 You can tell they use different cutters Rogs stuff seems to be a finer more crisp cut on the fonts with just enough wander to almost look like a sharp stamp. Johns on the other hand has changes in depth like you see from the roll marks. I think they are both outstanding |
