I am going to use this to post photos of finished projects on magazines, the topic will be closed for comments, it's just to keep a photo record of jobs done and how they look. These arrived today in the mail just after noon. Can anyone guess who they belong to?

I figured I might as well whip out a set for myself before it gets too crazy around here. The set I was using was tuned to perfection, but they weren't all blinged out, and I thought I might need to be able to show folks at a match what it was I was doing. Wasn't very professional to have mediocre mags in my own pouch. My photo skills suck, and this little digital camera doesn't take the best picture, but you'll get the idea.

These belong to Lexor40cal

These mags belong to OpenShooterGirl. STI mags in 9mm with no spacer. You can tell how polished they are, in one of the pics you can see her fancy schmancy olive oil bottles on the counter top next to the wine rack across the room.

Another set finished for another Enos member.

And another dent in the pile. These mags were a real booger and must have some age on them. The polish on them isn't what I'd like, but the surface scratches were too deep to get them all completely out. I earned my wages on these mags. They were slightly out of square and the weld on them was not good at all, but we got them fixed up.

This customer requested limited etching and only 1 witness hole.

[kgunz11]

Al503 wanted his witness holes at 18 and 23 rounds, and just wanted them numbered 1-4 for his 9mm SVI mags.
Here's what the witness hole looks like at 23 rounds before polishing. SVI tubes have horrible scratches left over from the weld.


This is after polishing.


And after etching.

These belong to 2 different people. Mag #1 is an SVI and had a small bubble in the weld that exposed itself during the polishing.

A pair of 9mm STI mags and a pair of .40S&W mags.

These are going out to a customer in Tyler Texas.

You fuggers really got your moneys worth out of me this week. It's 4AM and I just got finished. Going to have to etch 1 more set in the morning, wait, it IS morning, in the morning when I get up anyway. Then I'll spend the rest of the day tomorrow invoicing, reassembling, packaging, and taking these to the PO so they can return to you guys. If your mags aren't the prettiest in the bunch it ain't really my fault, I ain't no magician. You guys gotta quit sending me these turds, you're wearing me out! Now I know why other mag tuners only work with new mags!!! Those of you waiting on stuff, maybe you'll see yours in this pile.

Rick I hope this is what you were looking for. Kinda hard to tell, but the base pad is silver, polished like you requested.

[kgunz11]

Area 8 Prize table mags. They still have to be etched for 10 and 20 rounds with the .40S&W caliber designation on there. They'll be available for someone to win at the match.

[kgunz11]

Someone has a LOT of money invested in some SVI mags.
Per customer request, we spec'd and deburred the feed lips, polished the tubes, and etched numbers as instructed.

Been a few days since we've posted any finished mag projects. Hope to get another on here tonight. Polishing apparatus was down and we've got new equipment in the shop so we're back rolling again.

[kgunz11]

This mag belongs to a Freedom Gunworks Team Shooter. (yes we are building a shooting team of our own)

[kgunz11]

Matt, these belong to you, I just need to etch them.

[uscbigdawg]

Good grief those are shiny!

Rich

[kgunz11]

Yeah, we have new polishing equipment in the shop now thanks to Howard. He's been laff'n his ass off @ me for a few months now and decided to finally pitch a bone my way.

[kgunz11]

Two more finished today. Next week, I plan to NOT answer the phones. I'll have a message on the machine to address this so if you need something, don't hesitate to call, leave me a message, and I will return your call before the end of business the same day. I just really want to get some of these mag projects finished. I have 13 jobs here and plan to knock one out tomorrow. I'm taking the weekend off to do some long range shooting and I'll be back Monday to get started again.

I just wanted to thank all of you personally for your business, we really appreciate it!

I ended up doing these mags for no charge. I was in the habit of drilling witness hole at 10 and 18 rounds for Dawson pads and rocked on with these without confirming with the customer requests. He requested witness holes at 10 and 15 rounds. I called the customer and told him about my boo boo and he was fine with it, but I did not perform the task as requested so these mags are on the house. The customer didn't mind them like they were, and did not insist on having them replaced (which I offered to do) or to have the work done for nothing, but because it was my mistake I'm eating it.
