Hi,

Which machine tools are you using to start such a "Hardcore"
project ......
I am working on a very similar project, just as an hobby, and
I can tell you even with our tools we have in our day´s it
is not a "piece of cake" building a parabellum pistol ......

best regards

Otto

When i say 20 frames in 4 month,
I am talking about completing milling operations in 4 month and having 20 85-90% complete frames in my hands.
Several operations will need to be done by hand, same way the old lugers where done.

If i fail with a manual mill, I have a friend with a CNC shop, that may be able to do it quicker.

The mill i have a 3 ton, industrial machine, that is capable of much more then frames.

The person working for me, has experience building honeycomb satellite telescopes that are still in space today. He worked in the experimental machine shop that had contracts like that.
It was 30 years ago... but he is good.

Yes it's not going to be a piece of cake, and i may attempt to make one frame first, just to see what type of problems will come across.
