  13. Riviera will cut you a group rate... we just had 12 play for 40.00/man. That's nice enough for this group of hacks AND located in a reasonable area (Dublin). They are now semi-private. Played there 2 weeks ago. Course was nicely kept.
  14. Would that CNC table do the trick? do I operate the table or is that what I am paying for? (someone else to do it)

This is my actual gun, and I bought this knockoff weight for it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/MW3_zpsb94073b6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/MW1_zps015cd9c1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/MW2_zps1bdd6095.jpg And, here is the authentic weight I own as well on my authentic USP Match.
  17. Hi, I am looking at making a small 2x3 inch metal "thing" that is two pieces and comes together with a couple screws. are there any metal prototyping shops in CBUS? or what about not in CBUS? I have the piece that I want to recreate so is it as simple as giving it to someone for them to "map" and create? I know this sounds like a very newb-ish question. please take it easy on me.
  18. Have you ever thought that maybe it's because they can find someone else to do it at that "laughable salary increase" (especially in the climate of this current job market) and maybe it's just the employees inflated altitude? ....just putting food on the table for proverbial thought.
  19. You sound like a pessimist. Unfortunately there are a lot of companies that are perceived this way. But, it might be a measure of maintaining profitability. That was a point I made... sometimes it's not because they want to be "dicks"... you know that much Ken.... I know you do. We spoke about it when you worked at T&A.
  20. Ken, tisk tisk at you as I know you are a savvy businessman..... Haven't you ever heard the saying "companies want to pay employees just enough so they don't leave"? (I'm not saying I advocate this... I'm just saying that it exists). Here's a situation, I have a salesperson who is now a manager. He made 130K last year with most of his money coming from his commissions off of his book of business and about 10% came from being a new manager and getting "over-ride" on what his people produced. NOW, we did give him a bump for becoming a manager (15K increase). BUT, if he asked for another increase this year because he has taken on more salespeople and begun developing business in a small capacity..... I'd be forced tell him to go pound salt. He makes a good wage (and yes, he HAS EARNED EVERY PENNY). He is technically overpaid if you look at what your average business developer makes (80K-90K) or even your average recruiting sales manager (60K-80K). And, he has earned every penny (again, I don't have any issues when a salesperson kills it, we don't cap commissions here). But, in the end, I can't pay him (on base salary) more than he's worth..... Because at that point it's literally taking money out of the CEO's pocket (my boss) and putting it into that manager's pocket..... Otherwise I should replace him with a more reasonably priced employee (if he were to begin to demand things). Believe me, I understand how some of you may think that is "cut-throat"... BUT, it's my job to ensure the business remains profitable to a reasonable level. Ever hear the term "don't take it personally, it's just business"? Ask the dude with all the Lambo's^^^....Business decisions are called "business decisions" because it's what is in the best interest of the longevity of the business. All companies are different in terms of how they value employees. Some want to create a trusting environment that promotes self-sufficient & self-accountable modes of conduct that promote growth. Other companies use scare/fear tactics to motivate employees to not "do poorly". I bet you can guess which companies focus on "praise for good performance" VS. "criticism for poor performance". That my friend is called "culture". And, a culture of a business dictates things like "Do I get paid more for a title change.... or do I have to earn my extra money" because you gave me "the shot" to earn more money.
  21. I am going to take a trip to gun envy today at lunch to see what they say.... In comparison: A certified HK armorer charges: 100 for the rail, 100 for the weld, 175 for the refinish of the barreled upper plus all shipping expenses. (375.00 plus shipping there and back) Another certified HK armorer charges: 75 for the rail, 35 for the weld, 295 to completely refinish the Gun's metal parts plus all shipping. (405.00 plus shipping there and back). I will be interested to see what GunEnvy tells me.
