"I'm back in the saddle again"

I was busy over the holiday, but finally got the sniper fixed. I did a nice neat job of gluing at first. I then thought how ruff I treat things including myself and I would be MD'ing in the water. So I laid the glue to it. I may never be able to open the sniper again. Hope I don't have to.

Funny thing; when I air tested it I get twice the depth now. I don't know what I did.

I found this at a yard sell over the week end. Only cost $5. now I can accurately ID CW bullets and other finds. Oh yea, the sniper's case is .08 " thick. That is less than 1/8 " thick. When I am MD'ing I scrub it across the ground a lot to get the max. depth. I think I will coat it with some epoxy.

Looks good. You may be able to start a business repairing coils.

So air test a dime, and a quarter and tell us what it tests at.Should be interesting. I might have to glue MINE!

JOhn JOhn John...If depth is that critical then we got a problem !!!!!!!! Course I should have known you'd be the one dialing in the accuracy too...Way to go on repairs keep em coming

I'm not very good with the online joke. I was making fun of the depth thing. It still has the same depth, which I think is real good for a small coil. It does better than the stock coil, because it doesn't see the mineralized soil like the stock coil.

So you went for double or nothing then. Glad to see you got it going again.
