The only advice I can give is to try not to get distracted by other hobbies. I've barely used mine at all... I'll get back to it once I get this airplane out of my garage :-) Rusty

LOL! I was wondering how many times that was going to happen :-) Rusty (still debating ordering the lathe tools to attempt to make a Transfer Port)

Thanks for the thread confirmation, and for the video link. I've actually watched that video before, and I'm looking forward to trying to thread on the lathe. Next time I need something from McMaster Carr, I'll likely order some material for the probe and transfer port. Rusty

While I'm thinking about this, does anyone know the thread size for the brass transfer port? I don't have a thread gauge that fits it, but I'm guessing maybe M12x1.00? Rusty

That will be true at some point, but the lathe is brand new, and I haven't begun to learn how to use it. I've got a CNC mill that I'm pretty experienced with, but I've never owned a lathe before. I'll work my way up to more complex parts. Rusty

 Why yes, exactly like that :-) Thanks for the link. I guess I need to spend more time watching youtube. BTW, Huma replied already and said they had not considered offering the transfer ports without a hole, but they would consider it. I don't remember what these cost direct from FX, but...

Interesting info. Now that I have a lathe, I really need to make one of those pin probes. I only shoot slugs, so it should work well. As for the transfer port, it would be nice if these were available blank, so you could custom machine your own opening. I just sent Huma a message to see if...

Is there any update on availability of these kits? Today is 7 weeks since I ordered mine, so it's just a bit past the original 2-3 week estimate :-) Rusty
