    Slowly these are still coming together. Added an Alamo City striker and Taso frame to the mix.

    One of these days we may actually get these out for anno. Glad we waited as now ZaDeer is part of the build group. Also I was able to snag a Knuckle Duster frame.

    We'll have to see ZaDeer's build!

    I've a different FBM body and it's already anno'd. It just needs a VA but I'm having trouble sourcing one I like.

            Small Update. The Diamond Labs Frame is 7000 series Aluminum so it's being difficult and this isn't quite ready to ship back yet, but it's getting there.

                Ugh, my other one needs love now. Once I get a lawsuit settled and a couple things paid down, it'll happen. The anno looks amazing!
                I tapped the 2nd hole (iirc) for threads and ran a cocker square body vasa on my purple one. I'll get a different one matched to it, because the o-ring on the angled one is visible.
                Did you have any burrs in the upper tube on yours? The passage wasn't de-burred, so I had to do a thing for that.

                  Maybe if you actually put it together....I am SUPER not worried about getting hit by a box of parts still bubble wrapped....

                  *Bang* *bang* consider this shots fired 😘
