I am composing a lengthy email to send to you. When I have all my thoughts together and have my income tax finished (deadline approaching...danger, danger!) I will get it out to you. I am interested in the "thread chaser" and other things. Thanks for your offer of help, it is most appreciated.

P.S. You sold me a pair of Star BM grips almost two years ago.

I am reading Kenyon's article, and he says the insert used five dovetails ?!?!?

I'm not familiar with the 'fat barrel'...Is there a drawing or dimensions of the 'fat' part here somewhere???

(I'm guessing the 'fat' part is the taper)

I was interested in seeing what a 'baby' with a 75mm barrel [~3in] and '7 shot' grip frame would look like...

Rich, you Photoshop Wizard, you... This combo has just the right visual balance to please my eye. The ones I've seen pics of with less exposed barrel always looked kinda stupid to me. This one looks great!

I hope so, too, Ron. Heck, short of the finish, it's just the bbl. to add, then tune up that recoil spring and start shootin'? It already looks fantastic, those ivory doo-dads really give it a punch up, visually!
