Same amount of time it took George Luger to design his masterpiece. Question is: will it work?

They built complete airports and cities in less than 2.5 years

Ed's patience during this build is very good. Eugene deserves the name 'captain Slow'

I would ask him for a few photos of his progress to date. Even kidnapers will send a picture that your victims' status and is alive with some progress!! Ed you have the patience of a saint. I pray its not St. Jude. The patron saint of 'lost causes' ~ Eric

We all care about you Ed. You are our family and a great friend. Our only concern is your happiness not matter how long it takes. Your carbine will be the cream of your collection. He does good work from what I've seen. I'm sure you are doing your best and so must he! I think all of us should lay off for a while and let things occur at their own pace as they will. We don't need updates except an update that its done I love mine and so will you.! Perfection is always worth the wait. At this length of time it better be perfect. Maybe we can start a raffle for a due date! My third grandchild expected in July. Just let us know when your pretty carbine arrives so we can finally put an end to all our wait! I hope it arrives sooner and not later! Ed you are a saint!and good friend for over ten years. Tks Eric

You know Ed, this has the makings of a good book, you could illustrate it with the photos, describe your increasing frustration, and, hopefully, it would have a happy ending. You could title it "Waiting for Eugene".
Best regards, Norm

If the happy ending is Eugene's trial, I'll buy a copy!

I even volunteer to serve on the jury!

fitted forearm to my liking.
Assembled and tested.
Need hotter loads.
It almost grabs the next round, but needs about 15% more.
