Your work looks great! Maybe someday i will have you build me one. We probably already talked about this but are you turning down the original barrels or using a B barrel?

I will keep my eyes open for you! I have several NOS B's. Didn't Luther have some for sale? I bought an HD (medium profile) barrel from him a while back and it was pretty pricey. I have a 6 3/4 HD that has quite a bit of holster wear on the barrel and thought I would see if the bluing on an accessory barrel would be close, but it wasn't. I was able to get a perfect 6 3/4 HD that turned out to be one of the Vault Guns which was an awesome score. So the holstered gun is in limbo now!

His collection had been cherry picked hard before it ever hit the internet! He had a lot of good stuff.

Is that how much if I send you the gun and a barrel?

Hmmm! So if the gun is in my C&R book and you build it does it have to go through a Wa. FFL SOT from you or do I do the paperwork through you and then it comes back to my C&R?

Service and return to you direct. BUT you need to form 4 the silencer through a WA SOT

I haven't done a form 4. You would provide me/him with the specs and we go from there? I haven't talked with my guy yet, he probably already knows what to do.

Exterior of the suppressor is exact reproduction of the originals? The gun is probably way nicer than I should start with but it's a spare parkerized version.

Externally the same , internally quite different, much more modern. HDMs were bad tech from the beginning. It's like Bell labs had never heard of Maxims patents. In any case when the gun is done I take the removable suppressor off and send it to your 02 or 03 dealer who handles the form 4 for you. I transfer it to him on a form 3 which is very fast. The form 4 not so fast but it is a simple process. $200 excise tax.

Thanks for the info, I have to see how the new laws in Wa. look in their final versions and whether I'm going to stay in this state. We will be talking more in the future about this.
