...A little too much of.

Finally got set up with a bank that does EMT. Way too much running around setting up accts and passwords.

...Then my +ten year old computer crashes.

Now no e-mail access.

At least I got another order rolling with Eric at scopes and ammo. Much thanks to him for being patient with all the questions- a class act, as usual. Now the wait begins...

Which brings me back onto topic

I've been reading a bit about the 78 series valve stem, and it appears they need replacing with delrin, for what I'm about to subject them to. Anyone know where to source delrin valve stems? Or am I going to be safe for a while with the factory stem, doing a slow work up to hpa performance?

The other concern is an rva. I had it in mind to make one. I don't have access to a lathe, and the drill press I've been using has had me doing the slow burn thing as of late. I'll probably play with shimming the hammer spring a bit first, but I'm likely going to want some measure of adjustable spring control. Wish I could spring for a mill table and lathe...

Life is good, though. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks.
