Heck, even if they worked them 12 hours without break (which was possible), that's a hundred an hour or more than 1 a minute. Must have done them in stages, using loading blocks, but still... that is very impressive!

If you haven’t bought Steve’s dvd you might want to consider it. Get the mag follower and ejector spring too. The machine can operate one finger butter smooth with a little bit of fitting. The dvd shows you how.

I have started using Tennis racket bags for my take-down guns from AR-10 (in this photo) to the 1897 12 ga I carried in my motorcycle saddlebags. MY MP-5 and Co-Pilot fit in a single racket bag. They don't draw attention when taking them in and out of the truck or carrying them into hotels.

I like the lock blades or autos made out of the newer powdered steels for durability. They are very hard steel, hold an edge unbelievably well, and take great abuse. I would put them against any for reliability.
