Lol, had a good chuckle just now. No no thank you, if it is ok with you, I'll take a rain check on the Revolutionary War/CC experience, never been my forte. :D :D, but the info as mentioned, now THAT on the other hand, is very much appreciated!!! :p It took practically the entire day today...

DAMN, some of you guys have some nice toys!!!!!!:D:D Here is a question: the are a whole host of steel tipes out there. I've been doing some reading about it, and it seems that the following types keep on popping up. 154CM ATS 34 D2 440C Then someone also made mention of 12C27 N690...
