I just completed my third build and I would like to say thank you to everyone for posting here, the images, information and advice has really helped me and allowed me to avoid mistakes and frustration. So thank you everyone.

I decided to create a laminated card listing all the parts and mods for this build, it turned out cool. Im happy with this build but still have much to learn.

Nice work, the crystal and lume look really accurate to me. This kind of build deserves you splurging for a gen mkiii insert :shuffle:

gunsmoke16610 is this a bivintage case set? If so, was the 2824-2 a drop in? I have one on the way for a 7016 transitional gilt project. Thanks in advance.

Paranorml Did you buy the case off eBay? Did you pay buy it now or make an offer (if you made an offer, how low did you get it for)?
I’m curious about the bivintage quality - please do post how you like it with some pics.

Paranorml It is a bivintage case set the 2824-2 fit perfectly. The crown tube is not the best. I replaced it with a 703 tube and had to countersink the stem hole so that I did not have a gap between the crown and case.

mzinski I BINed and was shocked how quickly the case was shipped. The quality is excellent with the weak point being the crown and tube, they should be replaced but I know you did a great job countersinking the tube hole on your build. Good luck man

They show up from time to time but don't see any listed now. Set up a search alert on the bay.
