	Huge improvement in the looks Jack! Even without a perfect fit, it's a bunch better than that funky nut thing!

	Going to wait and see how it shoots with the tube on the front. Then I loctite the tube on and take it from there. Maybe bright red paint!

	No threads Joe. The "nut" was a smooth bore. Beyond my capabilities to cut threads on the 3/4" shank on the end of the barrel. Going to duct tape in on until I see how it shoots. that should draw some interesting comments at the range. Jack

	Don't know. When I asked Gary at Spokane, I think he he said the machines were gone already. Someday I will have one! Them I will not have any excuses. Thread with the clutch, right Jack

	I finally put together a few spare stocks and a 5 inch bloop tube I machined for the 32 Miller short HW. Here is the before and after pics. Going to spend more time at the range to see if I can eliminate the flyers before considering a re-barrel. Jack

	You just have to no look too closely or take the for-end off and look at the dovetail cut with a hacksaw. It was a deal I couldn't pass up. Not quite as good as that heavy barrel low wall you scored but close. It will probably get a new barrel someday, but for now it will provide some fun. Going to try breach seating BP in a 32 Miller Short. Jack

	I soppose I could have made the bloop tube from a section of octagon barrel to match the original style Jack

	Common knowledge that Canadians are heavy drinkers It is a requirement to use Scotch as antifreeze to survive Canadas climate. Picture of my bloop tube to extend the line of sight when using iron sights. There is a screw on cap (same diameter as the barrel) so you cannot see the threads on the end of the barrel when using a scope.

	Dave, how does the bloop tube index up? Is there a set screw that screws into a indent? Or does it just thread on and stop correctly each time?

	There is a indent line on barrel and bloop tube that needs to be aligned. There is a lock screw to secure it in the correct position.
