    Critique Request First gun

    And if I'm not mistaken when returning said firearm or receiver w/ a ss# you must do a yellow form ( I forgot the number) and a background check. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure. Batf has zero sense of humor and just looking to put something were the sun don't shine.

    More work on copper laps

    The problem with turning the disk over is cross contamination before it is all said and done you will have a mix of 14k and 50k on both sides. Not what you want. Dedicated lap for each grit.

    I started with a Ruger lcp and then moved on to lc9.
