    Anyone ever used one? wonder if it works like advertised? As long as the frame is very solid i don't see why it wouldn't.

    How hard could this thing be to make?

    ..Ive seen those. Looks like the trick is getting the rails and all the parts EXACTLY set up right...I was considering the pistol grip machine they have, but I worked a deal on buying 1911 grips at wholesale...but still thinking about his duplicator. If I decide to buy a duplicator, I will buy his...and I looked at duplicators for over a year, he really has something here IMO.

    He has good FB and has sold quiet a few. Has sold them for several years...and he is the designer/inventer/builder of this machine, not just a rep...says a lot! I bet once you figure out how to get evrything set up correctly it should work really well.

    WAY cheaper than a CNC, but obviously not as good, but hey, with a little practice I bet you could get great results. Best price and duplicator Ive seen...[;)]

    PS: WAR, iIMO it is worth the price. You could make yourself some nice stocks, and make the price of the duplicator back by selling only a few...nice stocks are not cheap.

    Rusty quote:How hard could this thing be to make?

    ...Not hard at all if your a machinest.[:D]..to be able to do the "super alignment, and level" thing...some machinest levels costs hundreds of dollars, not to mention alignment tools. Being a geometry major, with a degree in engineering wouldn't hurt!

    ...Everything on this would have to be 110% PRECISE...to work properly...[^]

    Of course there are those that have had no formal training in any of these fields and are as good or better than the degreed folks, the "practical" ones.

    ...I know a "practical eletrical engineer, and a "practical" machinist/custom stock maker, gunsmith..among other things! We all know him as "mrbruce here" I am honored to know him as Bruce and as a friend. He could make a living at any one of these trades, he is GOOD.

    Ive posted a stock he repaired/dressed up for me before on my Ren 519..here it is again..Walnut stock/spalted maple forend/spalted maple grip cap (his idea, and I love it!) He re-finsihed the entire stock also, awesome work, thanks again Bruce. If I take that one to the range, someone ALWAYS comes over to comment on it and wants to know who did the beautiful work, and it is beautiful...need to take a better pic. On a rest at 50 yards you can shoot all the rounds you want, then cover them all with a dime, if you do YOUR job...[^]

    after i made that post i realized theres alot more that goes into it, besides squaring up a few slides. Im extremely interested in trying one of these things out. I can see a lot of practical (and money making) use in a machine like this, other than for making gunstocks.

    I BOUGHT ONE LAST SPRING AND HAVE DONE SEVERAL STOCK WITH IT. IT'S NOT 'PLUG & PLAY', IT TAKES PRACTICE AND YOU HAVE TO GO SLOW. THERE IS FINISHING WORK TO DO AFTER YOU HAVE YOU DULPICATE. FIRGURE AT LEAST 2TO 3 OOPS'S BEFORE YOU GET A GOOD STOCK. I'LL ADD THE QUALITY OF MATREIALS IS GOOD.

    A guy I know just had a stock duplicated on one of those. He's very happy with the result.
