The project has been pretty slow so far Trev - have had some other stuff to deal with.
The saying goes "don't hold your breath (waiting)" - you might end up looking like Obelix otherwise.....

Your wish is my command.

That looks very nice.
Don't you love it when you can get the scope mounted that low it almost kisses the barrel?
