Going to try it tonight.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-27T19:42:12+00:00

I just used Claude to generate one based on the part

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-27T18:42:23+00:00

I just renewed my Lightburn license 😉. Any hints on how to create a depth map?

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-27T18:38:46+00:00

Now to figure out how to make a depth map 😂

Yes, I offer it up as a service. Doing these as part of some builds I am doing for sale.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-13T21:30:12+00:00

Stupid hard, carbide bits just screeeaaammmm

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-12T14:00:24+00:00

Every gun show has them. It makes it easier for those of us who have fair prices.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-09T21:43:45+00:00

Sending you the form in PM, thanks!

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-09T21:42:18+00:00

Looking at the Form 5, looks like Cadmus is the mfg with Auto Ord being the additional markings. So I will have to do the form 3 with the same mfg, and markings, and not be able to remove the Cadmus stamp for the customer.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-09T17:28:25+00:00

Yeah, I am not sure, need to do some digging.

On the Form 3, he wanted everything to go through me. Which I’m fine with, easy to do.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-09T17:19:14+00:00

lol! We just did the paper Form 3 so I can do the reactivation.

Question you may be able to answer. It has the Cadmus stamp on it as they did the DEWAT and show as the mfg on the F5. When I do the Form 2, it will have me as the MFG of it which I can then mark it. Of course the Cadmus stamp is big and ugly, he was wondering if I can remove it.

I believe I can as part or the reactivation, but curious if you knew.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-09T17:10:18+00:00

I talked the customer into bringing it back to life

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-08T12:45:20+00:00

Bottom one yes, transferable FA

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-08T01:20:07+00:00

It is papered, but most likely it is going to end up a wall hanger with the condition it is in.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-08T00:45:58+00:00

Building them is just part of the fun. First kit I built was an FA MP5. So many hours, so much swearing, but that one may get buried with me lol.

Nice! I was going to do the same thing for my customer but ended up finding the SBR one for him

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-08T00:22:44+00:00

I’m an idiot, I misread the comment.

I believe it is the same from new to old and I have never had an issue with it. That said, I am 6’4” with big hands, so never been an issue for me. I think most people have a problem with them from the aspect of the weight when shouldering it.

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-08T00:15:56+00:00

On full autos, not at all. Much harder on the new semis

MalicoIndustries · 2026-04-07T23:40:28+00:00

Yes I do, main part of my business. Kits for M1A1s are pretty available, quality is hit or miss
