isn't it agonizing waiting for the last part to come in so you can get your build complete?
let us know how it groups and of course how much more velocity you're getting over a shorter setup.
thx,

Mel,
do you intend to lap the upper extension face and glue in (loctite 609) or shim the extension when the new barrel arrives?
