    slight delay in shipping I am sick as hell and so is the rest of the family now. Monday is looking good sorry for the delay mike. Doctors orders, and I mean orders.

    I have some planes and a rudder, and hopefully Kevin has sent me his gun, so I'll make a mold of that. I'll add them into the kit for now, then review te whole thing later.

    So whats the plan now, you going to be providing a fittings kit with the appendages and gun??? Is that an add on or part of the base kit (with increase in price, i know, you dont get out for nowt)


    (only 28 days until i see some more RN big guns, but 15" not 12", and launched a year before, woo hoo)

    Couldnt resist and bored out the gun. Just happened to have some pellets and dart lying about so I hooked it up to my compressor. This thing is going to be a good time.

    Oh here it is. I left part of the stock on because I didnt know if you wanted the breach made or if you wanted me to do a partial bore on the gun. I also did not add the raised lines where the gun was assembled because I wanted more info on them because it does not appear they are a consistent thickness all the way around. Let me know. You know where you can send the APC :)
    Anything else need commissioning?

    David is right and wrong.
    I will rip your face off but we don't moderate neutrons. We actually found out the reactor is powered by souls. We are pretty sure it is what finally killed rickover since nothing else seemed to.
    I will try to start the gun for the skipjack today. Need to check my stock.

    When you print out this drawing, the gun should measure 6.3" long (Scaled in Graphic Converter - a Mac program)
    Easy there, Mike. Remember: you're dealing with a nuclear trained grease-monkey. One false move around him and he'll tear your face off.

    (The only reason the navy keeps those guys around is that they make fine neutron moderators -- without them, the kettle looses steam, and we forward guys have to get out and push).

    David,
