          Nah, this is easy-cheezy-japaneeze! Just showing you where we are.
          I should be focused on other stuff, just can't get motivated today. It takes me a few days to wind down after a production run. Gotta rewind for the next project.

            Not sure if you found anything out from xm15, but I found a spring that lightens up the pull quiet a bite. I can find out details if you would like. I bought them from D&B supply for a $1. I also found a good fit to the rainman pump kit as well, both in the spring and the binding of the follow bolt. I bought a longer bolt and put a nylon spacer on it. I must say that it makes a world of difference. I would have to say that it's second in line now to how smooth and effortless the pump pull is (AGD, XM15, Rainman). That mod cost $8 or so and well worth it. Kind of liked tinkering around with this stuff. I sent the accessories to Grub to see if he had the same results since he has the same kits that I do.

            The other thing I was wondering was can Caustic Customs powder coat the pump handle? I've inquired with him about the possibility since he has a technique with the plastic loader shells. He said he was willing to try with no guarantees, but I haven't sent it in yet.

              Precision powder you mean?

                Luke ended up finding some at his local hardware store for the XM kit and picked them up for me. They work very nice. I would be interested in what you've done on the RM kit for sure. I have a RM kit but dislike the pump stroke on it so much that I was thinking of just selling it. I would love to make it more workable.

                No idea about the powder coating. Personally I wouldn't mind finding someone to mill aluminum handles for the kits and have them anodized. One thing I noticed with the added weight of the pump handle is it makes the stroke nice. I have one on my MiniTac and it's really nice.
