My M6 Scout Build

[Toolmaker51]

Jamman;
I emailed you directly with an offer of support, in conjunction with what I posted in the 'extending drill bits' thread. I just found this [your] thread and read through it word by word.
I will tell you, and I am dead serious. Gunsmithing, in my mind, is among the most dedicated, craftsman-like, creative of all the trades. It covers those who regulate barrels of double rifles, guys like Frank Pachmayr creating transformation of .45 Auto from defensive pistol to precision paper punch, ones who build an entire rifle - engrave the action - carve the stock, right to the Afghanistan smiths equipping an entire militia.
Unless you stood in front of a Swiss or German Gunsmiths guildhall and pleaded for help, no where on the 'net have I seen such a wealth of relate-able knowledge, AND willing to share, than here on HMT.
I think and guarantee what Frank S, C-Bag, Jon, Kbalch, PJs, my self, (and possibly certain others off-thread) really support your project. Our collected knowledge and span of experience is a resource to tap.
At the same time, just because we've never met you, doesn't mean we are inconsiderate or trying to defuse your M6 project.
All the responses have something in common. We do not want to read about you being hurt, let alone anyone else. The few complications in creating a receiver, barrel, and trigger-sear-hammer-firing pin are all possible to overcome. Those complications are cured with something like insurance; controlling the mechanics & physics happening milliseconds after breech closing, between hammer fall-ignition-muzzle exit.
Frank S's link, and my email have several references to what offer a great starting point.
