Mailed 1st week in April & may not be too bad for time considering I forgot to include the form 5330.20...
Glad it's in, but, not surprised by the time -- was however surprised that now I'm convienced that I need to start the form 4 process to purchase a "store bought" one - sort of a state of the art one for some benchmark comparrisons...
Mine will be a rather standard k-baffle type and even if it will be considerable out performed by the new one that's ok... there's still a lot of self-satisifaction in making one yourself... Part of my rationalization is based on Clint Eastwood's classic -- "you gotta know you limitations".
I will likely never have the skills (or the machinery) to equal those currently manufactured.
Now my question - I have been reading and studying this forum for a while and have learned a lot & cleared up many misconceptions... After a lot of research & listening to what owners and others have to say - I am leaning toward purchasing one of the new Essence of Liberty... won't go into all the reasons here as they have undoubtedly been discussed here & there -- but, should I be taking a closer look at another one... or two ??
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated!
Just got my form 1 back today and was a bit surprised...

check the usual rimfire suspects.. i think everyone will agree , the best rimfire cans on the market are 22Sparrow, Element, Spectre, Kodiak

I would think the key to matching the performance of the professionally manufactured cans is to overbuild one. It's gonna be heavier and longer than a pro can, but I'd imagine you could meet or beat them for performance. It just ain't gonna be as pretty or compact. I've been pondering the idea myself.
