	Three late evenings of whittling and cussing with a fair pile of carnage of pieces that didn't work, there's a shimmer of light. Here's pics of the seater in the rough that fits my striker Ballard design.

	Me Greg did you read my last post on my 22lr Hepburn build? Got everything done and doing the forearm now. Can't thank you enough for your help. Neat looking pusher you got going. I am tooling up to try my hand at breech seating. So hot here in Ga. right now I have to work from about four in the morning to around ten. My shop don't have air conditioning. Heat index here has been over 100 degrees every day. Humidity is murder. JMH

	I've been lazy, finally have some breech seaters coming together for these Ballard builds. This is version three or four but it finally fits and works in the 28-30 like it should.

	Thanks Joe. getting everything to fit and function right has consumed a considerable amount of time but it's working. I plan to shoot this rifle again at a match next month using this seater so it'll get tested. Greg

	I really like the "butter knife" handle/lever. Very cool.

	I'm not a complete idiot, some of my parts are missing.

	Following some pictures that Rifleman posted on this forum some time ago I proceeded to make and fit a similar trigger in a recent Ballard build. I have this one hardened, stoned and polished, and performing as it should. It breaks nicely at 3/4 of a pound. Set trigger not needed GT

	Jeff, the trigger pics were out of a Zorn Ballard, Jordan bought. He was just nice enough to share internals...

	Greg if we keep this thread going for a couple years we will forget we are trying to finish last years project and we can tell ourselves were actually getting things done before the end of NEXT year

	Jordan, I was considering going in and changing the title to "year projects" but not specifying the years... I get to where I prefer not to label a post so I can include whatever I happen to be working on "in the moment". Talking and showing pics about a HW in a Ballard post drives some of my OCD friends nuts, sadistically I enjoy the humor. I'm just giving them a break for the moment. GT

	A question was asked in another post here about blacking Stainless barrels. Here's a couple pics of barrels that I blackened using a product call "Sur-Fin" . The round barrel was recently removed from one of my action builds to become a rifle for a different discipline I'm pursuing. The solution was applied in late '21 or early '22. This barrel is a RKS stainless I did in 40-90BN and hopefully one can see the comparison,the octagon barrel is a Green Mountain, both are SS. The round barrel really shows it's age, looks like a hundred year old tube... Lot's of time in and out of soft cases, time riding around in a gun cart and lots of use. The other barrel, I just used the solution on it and so far it's been in and out of a soft case half a dozen times, shot, handled and cleaned about as much. By the end of the year I'll bet it will appear 100 years old also. Compared to the Oxynate Stainless blacking solution, these paint on and wipe off solutions, they don't. If they are handled and used at all, the finish will go away. my 2¢ GT
