What's you background? Do you work with or operate machinery?

What kinda old ass 1900s grade equipment are you working with?

I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to know if I'm talking to a layman or a professional.

Sorry, long day, I was the dick there.

I'm in Autodesk most of the time, but have operated (read: babysat) on occasion, our multi-axis mill.

My point is that once the full workflow is set up and documented it can be transmitted.

Maybe I'm thinking about it differently than you in terms of final output. I'm not talking about copying a Glock piece by piece. I'm thinking closer to the type of gun Tetsuya Yamagami used to assassinate Abe. Basic, simple, and repeatable if not reusable. Something so easy it could eliminate moving or flipping the workpiece all together. Silencers could also be fairly simple to automate.
