Nanuq Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've got a red triangle insert with no minute tick marks from 0-15 but it's beat to hell. I might also have a new Phong insert similar to that if you need it? I like the 3rd picture. My original 6538 build was just like that, then I installed an Athaya crown and tube, and mounted it so the crown stuck out from the case a little further. At the case where the tube threads in there's a divot there, and I filled it with JB Weld then worked it to bring the case smooth and flush. Then new threads tapped into the JBWeld let me mount the tube so the final thread was slightly proud of the case side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedrk Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thank you all for your very kind words. Much appreciated. Nanuq, thank you for the advice on the crown and your vary generous offer on the inserts. I would not mind you sending them my way if you are willing to part with them. I could use some of that brisk Alaskan air again! Sent from my BLU STUDIO 5.3 II using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
