I just finished the barrel on Monday. It is already boxed up & ready to ship out; I have a small window of opportunity to get it smoothed out and refinished, I didn't want to miss it. In fact, I am missing three springs and a pin, which I hope Tom Heller has on hand. When it returns, I will post pics of the re-assembly (barrel vise, spanners, etc) and the finished product. I do have 9mm ammunition, but with shooting season upon us the range is only vacant at odd times. I have the stainless OFM Luger set to shoot, just need to get in to the range for an hour or two. Seems to be a lot of work going on as well as the pistol teams practicing and competition.

I'll get to it eventually.

I use a triangular file to round off the sharp edge between the two keyway cuts. I'm more a function guy rather than form. But I do like a 'knobbly' machine vs a pretty one...
