another pic of a blank

from my buddy Wendell....thanks again man!

Hmmm, where to carry that spare speedloader, scratch, scratch, oh Hell, why didn't I think of that,
I'll hide it in my gas cap.

John, put those suckers up for sale permanently in the "for sale" area, man. may not be enough activity here to make ya rich, but i'm sure some forum members would prefer to hand you some money instead of Custom Chrome or something.

i'll show them to my buddy Tomo too. i'd bet he'll want to start offering them for sale over here, or at least buy some to use on his builds.

John;

Do you have any left?

I think I may have a couple left. I had a guy cranking them out on a cnc lathe for 10 bucks a pc, but the place he worked at moved closer to their main customer and he lost his job.

Dan if you want...see if you and Tomo can capture the market over on your side of the ocean. If you can get them made up cheaply...pressing the shells in is easy.

the primer cap you just soak in anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) for a couple hours and the primer just dissolves, so no danger there.

Doent billy lane have a patten on a cap like that?
But it is cool.
shipping over seas with the shell cases can be a hassle too.....treid to mail a mag cover denmark got taking because of the brass cases

"from my buddy Wendell....thanks again man!"

It was my pleasure John! And, I'm glad that you're back at it.

Billy Lane kind of lost his place in line to complain about patents and such.
P.S. I think Jesse tried the patent route as well but in the real world product availablity is what rules.

if you copy it to mm perfection and market it a a billy lane then your in shit,
change a few dimensions and alls well

I can't remember where I read it but...( and take this with a grain of salt because you know how accurate most chopper stories are when dealing with celebrities)

Billy Lane considered applying for a patent but the six bullets design was around for many many years prior to him using it. So he would of only been able to have patented, based on design of function. And really how much could you patent a basic cap and thread?

Not at all sure if thats true...I did read it in print, but you know how that goes. -John

I learned long ago that if a guy is so insecure in his own works that he has to try and patent some neat little design then he's also probably insecure with the size of his dick and I put both of these things at about the same ranking which is diddly-squat. I do respect copyrights but patents are just a freakin joke nowadays.

I was only thinking becareful, just think maybe looking for an easy lawsuit. But as with most things John does it is first class

Chris

i think i read somewhere that Jesse James came out with that style first and let Billy Lane use it. i could be wrong though
