Love the idea Cam, how have you got it stored now ? Could it just be shared somehow?
Maybe a photohost service?
Whatever you end up doing I suspect it will be a lot of work, I'll let you know up front that I appreciate it!

Thats a great story!
And, a very nice 8 - I've wanted to add a scoped example to the herd for a while now but, alas, I am in Canada
Good luck with your sale sir!

What was really interesting was that the barrel would not move in the shroud when doing a function test!!

Re: My model 81 barrel tool
I have all the calibers! 25 to 300
I didn't realize they were caliber specific - but makes sense I guess
Or, is it possible to change out the barrel guide on the tool?
If I had to choose only one caliber, it would be a 35
