Blake,

I volunteered to test a set with Roger way back when when I first mentioned it to him. Offer still stands. I did discuss the idea with Ron as well. I'm trying to recall if he told me he had already discussed with you or whether he was going to. Doesn't matter, just interesting history.

I'm certain it's more work/time to build them. The lowers are pretty straightforward I think on how to do it. The upper would need a bit more work, but probably not much (really a different shaft is what I came up with, I had no idea where to get one of those built).

It's hard to know how many people would ultimately be willing to pay the upgrade cost. $500? Probably many. $2000? Probably few. But that's just me thinking...

Thanx for chiming in. Now back to the Missile!
