The III Percent Mission Statement: Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will
within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. ~ Thomas Jefferson
In the absence of orders, go find something Evil and kill it!
Enemies of Liberty are ruthless. To own your Liberty, you'd better come harder than your enemies..
Sorry - had to take a moment to choke down my sarcasm reflex.
Yes, they are engraved forgings, each a different color for use at various shows at the booth. Each shows a different color Miller is offering on his rifles.
Marketing & Presentation. ;)
I'm pretty sure, given the final design of the III Lower, that forgings won't work (not thick enough for the raised designs) so these forgings were re-purposed to satisfy another need.
I didnt mean anything disrespectful from that that initial post, I program CNC machines for a living, and have clients that make raw forging for Armalite and others. I am always checking out your site and am intruiged,
Sorry, that's why I choked down my knee-jerk (emphasis on jerk) reaction. ;) I've been in fight mode for a few weeks and it's hard to turn off sometimes.
Miller's final design includes raised logo and other elements that make forgings un-usable because they don't have the requisite width, so he made these up as color-cards (and I think he may be offering them for sale at some point, not sure.)
Sounds like we may need his assistance at one point? While my programming skills are working, I'm going to have to run my final code through someone who 'knows' prior to us running them. Not sure I've got all my 4th axis skills up to par yet. 1, 2 and almost 3 are no problem....4th axis might require some input.
What kind of software are you using to program or are you programming by hand? What kind of design data are you programming from. Solid Parts? what file format? If so where are they originating from? SolidWorks. Pro-E etc,? This is the same anonymous from the previous earlier posts btw. What kind of CNC machines are you programming for? with your 4 or 5-Axis machines are you programming 3+1 or 3+2 positional? or fully simultaneous 4 or 5 Axis interpolation? Basically are you indexing to position and running 2.5 axis tool paths, or moving the rotary axis as the other are moving? I have been working in this industry for 20+ years, I may be able to shed a little light on a few things if you have questions. Let me know. I can make arrangements to be contacted with alternate means. -Bill
No offense but they are engraved before machining, those look like raw forgings.

Thanks for tolerating my too-quick snark.
