What size takedown system did you use? Looks great! I have a Hill with the sleeve system that I cannot shoot well as the grip shape is too round I like the system you used much better.

Congrats  :clapper:  Brave man.  I've been wanting to do that for awhile but I'm thinkin' of Big Jim's TD kit.  Looks like you did a fine job though.  It only took a half hour ?  Sounds good.

Boyd... Got mine from Robertson...  See comments on the web site.   However, no problem, you come on back here for a visit.  I've got some in the drawer.   You bring the Hill.... I've got the chainsaw!
