    @RevolverRob do we know how much extra a 442 will be over a 642 for any refinishing required on the barrel?
    I do not. I'll check with Don.

    Here's where we're at folks, I have over 30 guns at this point. That's sufficient for Don. With the holiday season upon us, shipping anything right now would be a nightmare, not too mention there is minimal chance of getting work done before the end of the year. So earliest for shipping any guns is likely Feb-March 2019; depending on Don's schedule.

    I believe my spreadsheet is up to date, but it will be another week before I have enough time and brain power to deal with this (we're reaching the end of the term and I have to administer finals next week). I'll go through and tag each person to confirm their status.

    If you have additional questions or clarifications, please post them in here at some point in the next two-weeks.

    Thanks for bearing with me as we get organized and go back and forth on this!

    Is it too late for people to pile on? If not I am in.

    I'll add you to list.

    Just to keep everything good - we'll "close" the list at 50 guns or when Don tells me, "Enough!". Realistically, I'll look to close the list for realsies when we get to 50 guns or when the second batch of guns is ready to be shipped out to Don. That will let us know the timeline for turnaround and plan all future shipments with Don (the first shipment is likely to be a bit of a "trial").

    FWIW, if you want to pull out at any time before your gun ships, let me know. As long as we have at least 25 guns, we're okay. If we drop below that, we'll have to shelve the project. Right now, we're good.

    Man, the longer this goes on, the *more* J frames I’ll be able to send in.

    Thanks a ton for all your work on this. Good luck with finals/wrap up. May your student evals give the dean a hard on.

    Are people still able to get in on this? Have any guns shipped?

    Any updates on this project? I emailed D&L this week about his j frame sights. I was quoted $250 but the front sight must be pinned. I really don’t want to buy a 340 and then add D&L sights just because of cost. A 642 with a D&L rear sight and a Novak dovetail front sounds better. Anybody have pics of the D&L sights installed

    My shit is not together.

    Let me get it together.

    Will post this evening.

    ETA: I had it on my to-do list and it simply got pushed down due to life to contact XS sights about a group/bulk rate on big-dot sights and installations. I have just done this. This is a different approach than the "Pro" model, but should be considerably less expensive.

    I'll post the response, we can figure out if we want to go XS/Don Williams route and plan accordingly.

    As of now - the queue to add guns is still open. PM me your info (Name, gun types, quantity of guns) -
