    Big thanks to Ted and Matt. There no way she would look this good without them.

    oh no, that's not what I meant.... I was asking what the deal was with the design itself. the compression nut is sticking out further. is that like an extension or something so that you can put them close together and still tweak?

    That’s correct there two nuts soldered together that way I can access to tweak

    Very beautiful! The candy stripes look amazing!

    Might just be the angle but your barrels look longer than 5 inches? If not, no worries, just wanted to possibly save you the trouble of fixing them at a battle.

    Keep up the great work!

    Is the superstructure 3d printed? Can you share the file if you have it? Really like how it looks.

    John, Wanted to say it was great to meet you at Nats this year. You did a great job on the AD and battled her like a BEAST! I look forward to seeing you at future battles and I look forward to following your future builds! Keep up the great work. Craig.

    When John (Matt too) was on the Blue Fleet it won every battle. When they changed to the Red Fleet it won every battle. John and Matt were the key to winning.
