I am wrong. The post I saw was 2017. And I may be wrong about them moving to a new server.

I just saw it on the message board but now I can't find it. It was a newbe question about a site he had found. I myself have found and lost the location to the new server site for nfatoys. It's out there.

A friend on the message board turned me on to the book downloadable from archive.org. The search title I found to work is David S. Findlay Firearm Anatomy Book 1. All of the parts drawings for M1A1 I need to work on a SOT project. That and the new location for nfatoys.com has made my day.

I would like to have those. You can email me any time at guns@lcgnm.com

I'm glad to hear this. I believe you were the buyer of my Thompson gage collection. Broeker thru Damon (tommygunner.com)

Yes It could have been Tracie Hill. I believe I sold him a large collection of Thompson inspection guages and the fellow I was working with had contact with him. Is Tracie still with us?

Years ago I had the use of an original Thompson blueprint provided by Doug Richardson. I was able to use those dimensions to create a CAD file of the lower. Does anyone know Where I can buy or use the print to check my work? I was new to CNC and CAD/CAM.

Tons of fun and a barrel of laughs. Thanks for the encouragement.

I am sorry about bouncing the price. It will be the same for both Gunbroker and lcgnm.com I am new to selling on gunbroker and the rapid response caught me off guard. If I can find a way to produce dwindling parts and do gunsmithing it will be fun and a challenge,

Thank you Bob. Sorry for my confusing the part name. I have been selling on Gunbroker but have suspended the auction for the time being. I do have them for the same price on my website' I am so new to the selling structure on Gunbroker it seems to be easier to just take orders lcgnm.com

Thank you for your help

I don't know if you noticed, but that new picture is gone. And I'm not the only one experiencing this loss of newly published pictures..

Las Cruces Gunsmith Logo on plate

I was thinking the same thing. They will have a L inside a circle lase engraved on the back.

I made them to the prints I found here. The are the same only new.

No problem

I have made my first run of pivot plates and have them on gunbroaker and my website. I sent one to Dan and he likes it. They work and look good.

Is there any problem using new aluminum lowers on older west hurley pistols?

Hi This is Las Cruces gunsmith. I am returning a new aluminum lower to you no charge. You can proceed as you wish. Sorry I tried but the aluminum lower did buckle some on test firing. It would be a liability to continue.

I have a customer that has registered his 1927A-1-C pistol as SBR. Rather than modify his lower for a butt stock will a steel frame for the rifle function?

I have found a seller online called Bruno Militaria selling 1928 pivot plates at $40 ea. After ordering 3 he has ghosted me. No charge on my card just an email response acknowledging the order.

Just what the dr. ordered. And I found the pins. Very nice Thank you

I have searched the web for a source. to buy No one has any. I recreate the 1928 lower from 1927 A-1 . Part of the recreation is making the rocker pivot activate a bolt hold open. Now I'm down to my last 2 original pivot plates with a back log of lowers to yet complete. I can modyfy the semi plate by adding the finger and make the little piece from pre-hard 1075 spring steel. I have spring stock coming from McMaster Carr but what I thought was 2,5 feet of 4-inch-wide stock turns out to be 25 ft. Lucky me. My request from the board is: does any know of blueprint of the rocker plate? With 25 ft. of material to eat up, why not water jet the pieces? I hope someone can point me to a good print. Thanks

All great advice. I had planned on using a 1/4 endmill as is called out in the print. I too have cut many dovetails in barrels and slides always with a slot. But not often into a pocket. The tech at Harvey indicated that it may take 2 to 3 passes each side.

It seems you have experience with CNC laurencen. I have not used a 2 flute dovetail cutter before. Harvy tools has a good tech department and speed and feed charts. 2 flutes, it would seem, have greater flute strength. I'd really hate snapping a $104 cutter out of ignorance. any advice? I appreciate your input here.
