Going through the self storage and cleaning it out so I can stop renting it. Found this neat item. I used it once and packed it away and forgot about it. https://ibb.co/N2bQq9wD" rel="nofollow">  https://ibb.co/ds12ZLbD" rel="nofollow">  https://ibb.co/MDJQWBFy" rel="nofollow">  https://ibb.co/VY9tsHxb" rel="nofollow">  https://ibb.co/Z6Lw28tq" rel="nofollow">  https://ibb.co/21SjjCcd" rel="nofollow">  https://ibb.co/3YMs6qXh" rel="nofollow">  |

An interesting tool. I think it would require a skilled hand to get the job done with it! When removing some unwanted contact with the barrel on my No1 MkIII*. I made a tool using a suitable diameter steel pipe, and glued sandpaper to it. That worked nicely for the small adjustment required. ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |
