DAYUM! That sounds PAINFUL!
Unfortunately, injuries like that are the price we pay. I've had the same hip replaced 2x 'cause of Martial Arts and playing goalie (Hockey). AND my other hip is destined to be replaced sooner or later.

Nice! Can't wait to see a finished test fire!
Don't sweat the hair man, I started shaving my head since b4 I went bald and life without hair is so much easier! It's actually how I got the nickname Ing Chao. It means "Eagle Claw" (Phonetic spelling) in Chinese. In one of the...

The grips look great, too! Can you post some close-ups of those and the body?
Did you use the blueprint to make...

Re: (wip) ds gun
NIce! I love scratch builds. I've got most of the materials on hand for this.
What did you cut the frame with? Band saw, CNC?
Can you link or post the blueprints your using?
And more pics please!!!
