Great work Terra. I have found the "B" model has a different diameter. I need to look into this and figure out why. Otherwise, I have a feeling you are going to be making more of those :thewave:

Well done, Terra.
Won't you have internal reflections? The inside of the tube isn't black.

Thanks Roscoe and Xavier. Xavier, I just haven't had a chance to blacken the inside of the adapter tube yet. Will do that today with flat black spray paint. I'm masking the outside to leave it natural aluminum. Just didn't have time yesterday to do it.
