    I finally have the rotate working good. Needs a little tweaking but running good. The barrel rides over Anton turret and forces ther gun to elevate till it passes the turret, then back down again. I need to add a 1/4" strip of brass as a skid across the turret to make the transition a liitle smoother, but it works great!

    It's Japanese :) Is it 'Anton' turret, or 'Akira'? :)

    Hi Spuds, do you still have the video? It is not available on Youtube anymore.
