That's interesting, 75 ends (starts actually) in Dallas and goes north. Do you mean 45?

He probably does, but I-75 is in the Great Lakes region. US-75 ends in Dallas where I-45 starts.

Actually I will have to give him a call. I am looking for a "refinish" on my stainless Colt that has suffered a lot of burnishing over time and would consider this if it could be had in a matte finish.

I just sent him a contact message asking if he can do the BCGs for AR15s.

I've gotten my bolts disassembled, and my son wants to include his bolt carrier. I'm picking up the parts from him this evening, and then I'll get them to you.

I just back from him and holy cow, this isn't a backyard chemistry set operation - any parts would be plated to aerospace standards because that's the industry he's set up for, as well as oil-field parts. Really high-tech stuff going on.

Looks very interesting. I didn't see anything about an FFL on his website. I thought if you kept a "receiver" overnight, he has to log into his bound book. I suspect an FFL manufacturers license may be required for this business. But I am not an FFL and don't really know. Just a thought.
