First gun I ever named... It's an HK E-K build from TSC, beautiful and fierce, now en-route to my dealer. For some reason the first pics from Mike after he finished and tested this masterpiece conjured up verses from EAP in my mind. I'll post some pics a little later.

What was your wait time? I paid in full for a brand new mm23e back in May and it’s still not ready

Yes I know they are both named mike lol. Never dealt with TSC. Why did you choose them over Michaels Machines for this latest build? I have no affiliation with either other than waiting on my mm23e
Channeling EAP here and envisioning the eventual release of this firearm from federal prison and the first shoot at my favorite desert site - all in the context of the "birdification" of my freshly built HK-E belt-fed as the Raven. Yeah, too much time on my hands, but back to work tomorrow
. Apologies to Edgar Allan Poe (EAP)...And the Raven, never flitting, will be sitting, will be sitting
At my dealer’s inventory ‘till released and not before.
Then uncaged, no longer bounded by the prison that surrounded
And contained this fierce and noble firearm of Teutonic lore,
It is free, this fiery sword descended of the Knights of yore,
Free, its power to explore.
Taking flight upon the mountain, eyes aflame and with the fountain
Of its throat, now spewing fire and brass upon the desert floor.
Awesome in its fierceness gleaming, belts of fifty plus still streaming;
Barrels big and small now steaming with a rage accounted for.
May this Raven, with its boldness, stay uncaged for evermore.
Free to fly and even soar!

Pretty verses and cool gun.
Closing the Loop
Finally took the Raven out to the desert and ran some belts. Absolutely met all my expectations as I painted the hillside with 5.56 sized projectiles. RPM averaged about 780. Flawless in function, it was. A frequent visitor to my favorite shooting sites it will be. Hats off to Mike and the team at TSC for an incredible build!!
