Jim in Oakville, Whatcha wanna know?? I don't keep many penturning secrets. [

gerryr, I agree that the look of the CB might be improved on this one. Unfortunately, on this blank I was already fighting with length issues. It barely fit as it was with almost nothing taken off either end, so I couldn't really loose any addl space in the middle and needed the full length the CB gave me. Thanks for your constructive look!
Rob, The recessed clip on a baron kit in "reasonably stock" dimensions was really what I was trying to accomplish with this, and quite a bit of effort was made to keep the clip entry clean, with as little excess or "slop" as possible. Can and will continue improving, but it's fun to see it can be done! (btw, the blank came from BB)
