So, we ended up with AMERICAN MADE HARDWARE, Made by Lamson & Sessions of Cleveland, Ohio, and American Screw Company Bolts, made in Providence, RI.  For some perspective, American Screw went under in 1971, and Lamson & Sessions stopped making hardware in 1974. So, This hardware was waiting for us for about 40 years.  I still remember that day, and lemme tell you what, you ain't never seen someone get so excited over stove bolts in your life!  The alternative was custom make them, or use Chinese made goods...Below is a slide show with pics of our guns in various states of undress, and some of the early versions.  With each new batch came refinements in design, and aesthetic.  The V1's were Excellent, the V2's used a modified Barrel support design, and after that, we named them with letters. C-Series, D-Series, and so on. Right now, I think we're on the H Series, and that's where we'll stay.  The G Series was exactly where I wanted her to be, and the only reason we're on the H Series is because the guns are no longer cut on a CNC Plasma Cutter!.  They are cut with a laser.  Our actions were super smooth before, but now, Holy smoke, the charging handle slider glides smoother than greased silk.  We are very proud of these gentlemen.
