Thanks craig. I used drill bits to come up with the drawing I made. Problem was that standard bits didn't really give me a true diameter. Looked at the cost of numbered or lettered bits and cost climbed pretty fast. Besides, using the cerrosafe would be an interesting learning experience.
I know someone with a metal lathe so will try and turn a FP. As you said what have I got to lose? I was on Numrich looking at the old style LC Smith FPs. Appears that even they use a retained bushing to hold the FP in. Searched the LC forum and didn't really find anything. Guess I'll have to post there hoping that they won't be offended by questions on a Meridin shotgun.
