Hey guys, I'm needing to source a sleeve for an 8BA that's at 3 5/16" +.030 or 3.342" as I can't source one locally. What's the best source, I have all the necessary dimensions. Thanks ! BFD

Its may feel that way but not in my house. Not EVER.

So sorry to hear this, I will really miss his informative contributions on the Barn. Sincere condolences to his family. Godspeed Jim.
