San Diego ABC affiliate : "People line up to legally make untraceable guns"

If memory serves me right (it does sometimes).You cannot use an existing registered action and modify and remove the ser.#.It has to be a new made by you action and then kept for your self. I'm not positive but I don't think you can give it as a gift.

What causes corrosion in copper pipe?

In my experience electrolysis shows up as pitting,erosion shows up as a smoother wear.fluid moving threw pipes always causes an electrical field and if there is any conductivity to the fluid you can get electrolytic action such as any well water with a few minerals in it.(plastic isolater's maybe)

Screw ups at work... how long will employer put up with it.

I think the best thing to do would be to talk things over with your boss and get advise from him or her.They usually have a better understanding of your ethic's than you might think and could help you.If they don't care then your work environment might be part of your problem!

OT Fuel tank repair ,weld or epoxy suggestions

Gas will de solve JB weld.so diesel most likely will also over time.I have used cycle tank cream many times with great results on gas but it would be better in my opinion to find something designed for diesel.

How you learned to be a Machinist

The better you understand a machine the better you can make it perform.I think that just take's time and patience.Then some time down the road you can use your engineering knowledge and design an improvement on that very machine.:cheers:

Customers manager taking kick backs........what would you do?

Don't know why lodging a complaint to the management wouldn't be realistic? If nothing else just to the fact that you keep bidding job's and don't get considered even after the fact of dropping prices unreasonably low. Ask for an explanation maybe.
