Update 8/12

Still dealing with the barrel contouring issue.
Sounds like the smith has bitten the bullet and purchased a tracer attachment for his lathe.
He was not wanting to do this, as he was planning to go CNC instead.
I am hoping for news soon.
He has commited to having me hunting with it on opening day, Nov. 15th 2010.
I will keep you posted.

Cheers Nitro
