Ron, I would like one also. I like heavy iron. I would be up to just purchasing the castings and do my own machine work if that's an option. Thanks, Bob

I need something to fight with and curse at, so I guess I'm good to go.

I’d be interested if the price comes in at the target mentioned.

It appears there are about two dozen people on this forum and my seminar groups who have expressed interest.I suspect the professional modern stockers would consume a larger number.

 I will convey this to machinist and hopefully the numbers will be enough to get a batch started. He desperately wants one himself and there are certainly no old ones available anywhere.

I'll post when there is an update.

I would be interested. I have a patternmakers vise and had the thought of getting the second to hold the work on either end of a long rifle instead of just a block to support it. but this would be better.

Ron,
I would be interested if the price is not too much when you have a number of them built. Thanks.

For the curious here is a link to Kimball's patent:

Don’t wimp out on the mass of the material, especially the clamping mechanisms and the tubes...what else is there lol. That will help eliminate vibration.

The R & D is still under way. Joe Huddleston is looking at machining the parts rather than having them cast.
