My Gun Show customer really like the textured feel of the braid.
A nice change from the smooth barrels.

Everything you do is spot on for fit and finish....very precise and easy to tell a high quality piece. Nice job.

The great thing about making these blanks is you don't need your lathe.
Just a brass tube, spray paint, a pair of scissors and Thin CA.
