    I will start offering anodizing but ALL options will disappear which means there will be at least 75% less products.

    For example, I offer 5 options of LPR-FG's that will decrease to 1.
    Zero options for grip engraving.
    Rails would only be offered in prepaid runs.
    I would probably reconsider parts like my grip frames, it would likely only be offered in one version.
    Triggers, 3 designs each for the Intelli and Emag, that would have never happened had the parts been headed to anno.
    Etc, Etc, Etc.
    There's a system in play behind the scenes that allows me to offer all the options I do. If you throw anno in the mix, it would literally double my current inventory which would never work in this market.

    Lack of support for products on the shelf leads to little or no incentive to develop new ones and initiates the search for greener pastures.

    I'm pretty sure it will be easy on my Mini Vert and Cougars M86, but not sure with the current design meaning perhaps on the next generation of frames with built in mounts and internal mounting brackets removed. (Purpose built for the OLTR)

    Inteli frames will be the most difficult and hold little interest for me to problem solve those issues. I would rather just machine a "Intelli replica" from scratch fixing the problems with a new frame.

    In the vid clip where you have the LPR set at 44 psi, are you also using a SHP tank or standard output?
    If you are standard tank this is a no brainier for me, I hate having to have three separate tank for different output pressures.
    I like having the novelty of going full rt once in awhile but typically play with a normal pressure.
    I could sell my SHP tank and this would almost save me money (rationalizing)
    All the tests were done with the SHP, turns out the output pressure was in the neighborhood of 1300 psi, just figured that out today. I ended up pulling all the shims and the output pressure is still over 1000 psi. I don't believe that much pressure is necessary so I plan on testing at lower input pressures when I get a reg figured out. I expect the lower pressures to be fine, just need to test it.

    More progress, looking good.

    Here's a Classic valve test. The on/off seems a little slow, I tend to cuff it some but I can't really walk a trigger anyway. It works on the same settings as the other valves.

    Thanks goes out to Scott for donating the valve to test!

    It's a huge challenge making time for anything personal that's shop related! I've been trying to keep weekends open for the truck build but it's hit or miss and general only a few hours of work at a time...
