Any of you WIXers out there recall this item selling on Ebay back on July 11th. 2008? It sold for a bit over $4,000.00 but who sold it and who purchased it has always remained a mystery to me. It turns out the "glass rails" near the top of the dome are very hard to find. I have not been able to locate any in my pile of parts so I'm trying to find a set to copy for my A-15 project. I'd be interested in renting it, buying it, trading for parts, or whatever. Any help locating the current owner would be much appreciated. PM me or call at 314-324-1066 or email me at astixjr@earthlink.net Thanks.

Hey Albert,

I remember the guy because I was the second highest bidder. E-mail me and I will give you his contact info.

Thanks Taigh. PM and email sent. You would think that with 5,000 lbs+ of misc turret parts and turret scrap I would have everything I need to build one A-15 but I don't. Not even close! I'd like to actually complete at least one turret restoration before my wife shoves this stuff up my............. :axe:

Wives get cranky about your projects and pieces, but don't you dare say anything about all the jars and bottles in the bathroom or all the mis-matched 'suckerware' she clings to...... :rolleyes:
