WKevinD,

No problem !!!  I'm glad you made one.  I did make a longer bar to ride in the ram rod groove as the short one I started with did not ride over the pipe inlets smoothly enough.  The longer bar is about 8 inches long but the dovetail cut is close to one end.  I reverse it to get close to the rear pipe where the RR groove disappears into the hole in the stock.

Davec2,

Where can one purchase burs like that?  Do you have to be a dentist?

Also, if you make some of these to sell, I would buy one.

Thanks,

Martin

Martin,

You can get the standard 3/32" shank burrs that I use at places like Rio Grande and Gesswein.  I'm up to my eyeballs in work st the moment, but if I make any of these to sell I'll et you know.   ;)

Thank you.

If you make some, I'll buy one.  I am in no hurry.
