Thanks! This is some of the much needed advise I was asking for. As I stated early I dont want to make custom parts that require massive licensing since this would be a very part time endeavor. Liability insurance is also a issue, I wonder what liability insurance would be more expensive...

Ti bolts could happen. As far as expensive... If you guys think a price point of about $325 would attract buyers then it might be a winner. A lot would depend on the price of the factory parts that would assemble on the bolt to make it complete.

I like that idea. The Ti material to make that would be under $100. I'll have to get ahold of a 700 bolt to get all the dimensions. I think I'll make one for my savage to try it out. What do you think the value would be? Does anyone make them currently? And thanks for the idea!!

Also dont limit the ideas to stainless or ferrous steels. I learned to be very proficiant at machining titanium magnesium and other exotics.

Im sure just about anything would be possible... used to make stuff like prototype artificial human vertebra that assembles around the spinal cord. I dont think that ever went into production. But gun parts are a breeze compared to that stuff. So what ideas do you all have for things you would...

If you have ideas of things that are not made currently that you could use I'm willing to help. Im not required to make money for "the man" anymore so I just do it to hone my skills. If ever you get an idea and want something made just pay for the material and Ill make it for you without labor...

Recently retired from the precision machinist field and have since gotten into long range shooting. My background is in surgical implants and tools with extremely tight and complicated tolerances. I have a garage equipped with machinist tools and equipment and see a possibility for a secondary...

New to forum but seen this and want the choate, as long as it works with a center feed. How do I buy it?
