    I'l say this again, REAL SLOW. Those dies are EXPENSIVE. There is a minimum run to cover the setup at the mill. Nobody is going to hammer you 3 or 4 blanks, or its going to cost you a small fortune per blank. You have to make more than few props to more than a team or two to recover the money. HOW MANY TEAMS DO YOU KNOW USING THEM???
    Now MAYBE Ron is a very forward looking with a lot of confidence he can move that many props to justify the cost. Right now, I don't see it, but I have been wrong before. But when I talked to Ron, he was doing props for Tony's K and I couldn't even tell you they were CNC'd, very possibly could have been. But I pretty certain they were welded. When I spoke with him, he was more capable of making a CNC's prop from a trace mapping of my prop, but it would be welded.

    Now maybe SFV2R2R is more connected than I am, and has lunch 3 times a week with Ron and is more in the know. Maybe things have changed. MAYBE

    But do you think you could CNC me a prop from the same blanks Ron used on SFV2R2R Schiada?? Because Ron sure as fuck couldn't
