Ed, the RMC brass was sufficiently out of spec so as to be unusable. Sent it back and was advised they were shutting down as of 10 Jan, so they have the brass and my cash. Left me with a bad attitude toward the company.
Stuff that just arrived was spot on spec wise and the results are in the picture. There be a few more steps ahead before determining this is a viable endeavor, but on assumption the preliminary tests are successful I will order up some more cases and get to work. Mentioned previously this is an exercise of dimensional details. They aren't all perfectly settled yet but are close enough to advance the project.
I believe that I shall bookmark this and am eagerly awaiting more results.
