After a good (or bad) 20+ months of waiting, the custom die maker has emailed me to say the dies are ready for shippment if i care to pay for them....
ALMOST 2 YEARS AFTER I ORDERED THEM!!!
Well, looks like the McShort might be in action some time the first half of this year.
Still no sign of the go-gauge, though..... ..... I've ask my smith if he can turn one up from the reamer specs.
Can't wait to see your custom Project50!

I got such bad service from the die maker that I pulled out of the deal. No confidence that was going to get delivery on payment. Rude emails, no recognition of poor communication and long turn around. There are a few other die makers I can use, so I'll order again. This is turning out to be a back burner project.

Another good reason to just do what most people do. Buy off the shelf in a popular calibre.
