Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post but Tromix is in Inola, Oklahoma. Good, fast, cheap: pick any two.
Good and Cheap will do I can wait.
I guess since I found Tromix on the web I just assumed that he wasn't local. DUH! I'll have to put some more thought into it since he is an Okie.
I just really Thought that surely I could have the barrel chopped off for under $500. And if someone was doing it all the time then I would think it would cost even less just because of the principals of mass production. You know the design is already worked out... they have plenty of practice, it should just be a matter of doing what they already know how to do.
Well thanks for all the input folks... I guess I'll just have to start saving.
