JB Sledge Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 Hello Fireball, Just talked to my brother (Dutch Coroner) and he said that he is not interested in selling Ron's SS Kit that he has. Since they are no more, he is holding on to it for the future. Sorry so good luck in finding one. I did want to ask you about your mag tubes, Hud McCoy told me that you are making tubes out of carbon fiber.I would be interested in one for my 24 inch rifle if it is available. Thanks for your time. JB Sledge

Mister Badly Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 If you had one in hand could you duplicate it?

If I wanted to invest lots hours on the mill, build fixtures I'd use once and probably have a couple set backs and maybe have to start over, Source hardened pins, learn how to properly weld them, buy a furnace, learn how to color case harden the carrier lifter arm? Then, yeah, I'm sure I could duplicate it. Seriously though, I have one. I'd just like one for my other gun.
Preacherman Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 Maybe somebody could get with Ron and reproduce these again, as I'm sure that there could be a market. I was looking for these years ago and gave up, so I'm second in line if you find one!!

Mister Badly Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 I was wondering if Ron had a cnc file. I was also thinking about using a wire edm. I'll take a look at mine tomorrow when I clean my rifle. I worked at GM as a machine repair/machinist in Spring Hill TN and had some wire edm exposure. My focus was predominantly machine maintenance/welding/pipefitting and millwright. We only had 3 trades classifications. My specialty was demolition and lifting heavy things no one else could. They hated asking because they knew I'd rub it in. I know a guy who knows Ron. I'll call him and ask him for some info.

Whatever his path to perfecting the parts, he has an investment in it. I've talked to him. He has his CNC mill for sale, for $18K you can buy the mill and the files for the SS kit are in it. He's not sure the mill runs though, as it's been a few years. Unless you have other uses for an out of date mill/controller, the ROI on this one would be a no go for me. Enough about all that. Still looking for a Snover SS kit.
Mister Badly Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 I never thought he would give it away. Just didn't realize the mill had to be bought to get it. Glad you called him. Good luck with your search.
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 The Cadillac of kits. Maybe I should dive in and get some made. I could make tens of dollars in a extremely fickle cowboy action market

Will Burn Powder Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Just to add to this conversation I am owner operator of a commercial heat treating facility I have 45 years in the business, sooooo obviously I have treated my after market parts (pioneer parts) and I have no fear shooting heavy loads in my 73 rifles for fear of bending the arms...... I have dozens of machine shop customers who I trade favors with from time to time. Alas as Deuce stated it would be a non money making pursuit strictly a self satisfaction to continue a great product line for all 10 cowboys interested Reverse engineering required so yea anybody have a set

Jack Spade Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 If someone gets this going I would be a buyer for more than one set.
