Amendment 01:

The purpose of this amendment is to post question and answer. All terms and conditions remain unchanged: Those drawings are not a part of the build request. Those are ancillary parts to the main structure (barrel, landing frame, strongback). We’re requesting only to machine, weld, and assemble the barrel, landing frame, and strongback. Hardware will be required to assemble these which we are asking for purchase of hardware and assembly of all components.

Question:
