Thanks for all who constructively contribute to this board.

I can understand Mike not wanting to give up his setup as it appears to be his livelihood. On top of that I am sure that his product, as a professional, is far superior to whatever I may end cobbling together as a DIY'er. I do have the sense to know not to try most of what I am leaning about on any gun of value. However, as I have accumulated a decent stock of vintage field grade projects that beg for messing with, I am going to learn on. Hell most of my guns are going to get beat back up in use anyway.

That being said and this being a DIY board and everyone has to start at ground zero, anyone's input from experience is greatly appreciated.
