Thanks for the kind word Rich, Jerry & Neil.. My reach has always seemed to exceed my grasp, but even in knowing that, I've come to realize you really learn by doing.... And, it's sometime fun to revel in the few success's you do have, cuz, I'm also aware that there's a lot of time inbetween victories! ..

... But, the final proof will be if the barrel stands up to firing pressure... I will be interested in Jims final testing ... (First shot tied to a tire swing, using a string, I hope!...

)... Best to all, til....lat'r....GT
