I spoke to Dave this morning and he said to feel free to update the thread, I will keep it simple and as close to the conversation as possible.

He confirmed that ITAR is the reason for not accepting new work.

He requested that everyone concerned research the applicability of ITAR registration to manufacturers and gunsmiths noting inconsistency and ambiguity.

He requested everyone concerned contact their congressmen.

He requested that everyone wait to send projects until he has time to evaluate the situation, at 71 he is not building rifles because he needs money, he enjoys his job so the choices are either comply or retire.
