Thanks a bunch redneck, I had never heard of "picatinny rails" before. So I did a search and found a wack of info. Even grabbed a PDF color catolog, can't ask for much more than that ?;>) This is a great challenge for myself, and I really appreciate the insight. I'll be tooling with this over the weekend and I'll post an updated version soon. Take care, and have fun ?:>) Artworksco
