Re: linear encoder to control rotary indexer??

Brad,

I know of a guy in Portland, OR who made a rifling machine for
machine gun barrels. (Yes, he builds machine guns, or at least
builds parts for them now. At one time he had a federal license to
build the guns, last time I talked with him he said the government
had suspended his license). John Benjamin, sorry I don't know a
phone number or address, somewhere in NE Portland. He's well know
with NW gun people so he shouldn't be hard to find.

At one time he was planning an article for HSM mag on the rifler,
he'd probably be willing to share ideas.
