I know that what happened in Sandy Hook Connecticut was a deplorable act and should not have happened. For this one instance by a "Loner" innocent people are paying the price. I am sorry that the people of Connecticut are losing their "Gun Rights". Maybe States like New York, Connecticut, and California will one day truly be free.
With my deepest sympathies.

www.firingpin.net
As I already stated in my post about the Vulcan V-94 I found this site while trying to find a firing pin for said weapon. I sent them the bolt and broken firing pin and they reversed engineered the pin and with in 2 weeks time I was testing out the prototype for the pin.
The website is an off shoot business of Custom Instruments located in Boynton Beach, Fla. The company is owned by Chris Rook and Edwin Pyron. The company was started in 2004 with a focus on the medical Industry in which they have done very well.
Some of their contributions to the medical market include spinal implants and surgical tools. As one can see in the above picture they can make precision stuff to a really small scale.
About 2 1/2 years ago they decided to get into the firing pin business. The equipment used by Custom Instruments for their work are Swiss Style CNC Lathes and can handle making a firing pin. Some years ago I tried to make a firing pin for a CZ-52 on a "Regular" Metal Lathe and after I turned the metal down to a point it then bent. After 4 tries and frustration I called it quits. So I can attest that something special is needed.
Their current website dated Nov 5th lists 23 firing pins they currently have in stock. The firing pins are offered in stainless and titanium. Also along with firing pins they do make other gun parts. According to Chris they make specialty bolts, and the entire RPD trigger system and also supply firing pins to Wilson Combat, Franklin Armory and many others. So you may already be using one of their products.
The future looks promising for firinngpin.net. In the next two months a new website will be on the web under the name Iron Sight Precision. (Actually I like that name better than firingpin.net) As with my V-94 they will look at, reverse engineer, and produce anything weapon related. Goals for Iron Sight Precision with in the next year is to offer at least 1 to 2 new firing pins per week.
Like I already stated I personally used this company. I am quite satisfied with everything. Customer service is outstanding. From the first e-mail I sent to playing phone tag. (I was the one not always available) This company kept me in the loop and explained what they were doing. Best of all the prices in my opinion are great and like Amazon shipping is free.

SECRET SERVICE AGENT GEORGE HICKEY KILLED KENNEDY.............I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!!
In November close to the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination a TV show aired on Reels. JFK: The Smoking Gun which presented the theory that SSA George Hickey accidentally shot Kennedy. The show was based on The book Fatal Error by Bohner Menninger and JFK: The Smoking Gun by Colin McLarin. Also I mentioned the show on an earlier post and that I was going to do some testing on my own.
The theory comes from Howard Donahue who was a test shooter on one of the Kennedy Investigations, and on this particular test was the only one to duplicate Oswald shots on the second try. He is referred to as a ballistics expert in the books and the show. He proved the magic bullet theory wrong and that the seating of JFK and Gov. Connelly was different from what the Warren commission presented.
The theory states that SSA George Hickey was sitting on the lowered convertible top of the car he was riding in. When the shot hit Kennedy in the back of his neck Hickey grabbed an AR-15, the cars sped up, Hickey had his finger on the trigger , he then fell backwards pulled the trigger, and shot JFK in the back of the head with a frangible 5.56mm or .223 round.
I was going to test everything that the show presented in this theory. Ordered ammo, was looking for a 6.5 Carcano Manlicher like Oswald used etc. My first project was that I was going to build a seating device that would connect to the front of my truck that would mimic the seating situation that the theory states George Hickey was in when he fired the bullet. I wanted to figure out distances from front to rear, Distances left and right and heights. I looked up pictures on the internet on the JFK assassination and my jaw dropped. Basically this theory turned out to be a "Big Foot" sighting.
First off I found this picture of George Hickey in the trail vehicle. He is the one on the left rear seat. (The rear view mirror is blocking his face) (Your right) he is sitting down. There are other agents on the running boards.

SSA Clint Hill can be seen on the front left of the vehicle jumping off to aid the Kennedys and I could be wrong but George Hickey appears to be sitting. at this time. Most important here is the fact that I believe the fatal shot was already fired because Jackie appears to be moving to the back as pictured below.
Once The Kennedys are secure by SSA Clint Hill the car then speeds up along with the secret service trail vehicle and SSA George Hickey armed with AR-15 takes position as air guard. With the rifle pointed up.
I could be wrong but from what I present here and have seen I do not think George Hickey shot JFK. Though it might be possible to have a one in a million shot or even a billion I think if there was a misfire with the angle that would have to be in place to take the shot on JFK another Secret Service Agent or passenger in the car would have been hit, and/or a bullet hole in the windshield or frame. This does not exist and seen in the above picture no holes in the windshield and from our limited view here no Secret Service Agents appear to be hit.
