...I got the Sturm barrel liner today :mpup
The Sturm build is at a crawl now due to having to drill out the track guide centers, 100 links per side, thats :hmmm four hundred holes! :duh

If that wasn't punishment enough I'm also working on a really old Panther A at the same time. :gogo

Glad it arrived. Hopefully the post office didn't bend it. As for drills, that's a touchy subject at this moment in time.

What a JAB Moonpuppy :pp

I had an old Foredom Flexshaft with the foot pedal speed control. Like your cordless the low end was nice. Gosh I miss it...RIP

I've been smoking over getting that thing. Going to Greenville tomorrow, woodcraft store there. Making no promises.

I had mine back in the '80's and it was a hand me down then, I don't know how old it was but if they are still making them with the same quality you'll love it. They are a whole different feel.

Think of it as an investment. The foot pedal control is worth the price of a regular Dremel B)

James, I got the liner installed today and it looks great! Would post a pic but no time, Patton 360 is about to come on the History channel.

Question, besides the tools and liner there is a longer piece on the sheet you sent. After studying it for a bit it looks like it could be the sling for lifting the mortor rounds?
