Thanks for the posting Joe.  I had not heard of some of the companies and I had forgotten about some of the others.

Now that I have completed Christmas shopping for others it is time to do some for myself :)  Since it doesn't look like an Eldico receiver will be under the tree maybe it is time for some kits instead.

Your welcome Rodger!  Kits are fun to put together.  Its a totally different experience than drilling and blasting and building a home brew project.  To me, they both have their place.  Its fun to get a basic kit and then design in some mods to improve the overall performance. 

Sorry you have not found that Eldico receiver yet.  If I run across one, I will definitely let you know.
