version pre-2 of the FPS adjuster is finished...ready for some tests.

Assembly went together better the 2nd try (always does).

Unknown if it offers any real upside to the RATech one. It does only cost about $0.25 in materials though and took (2nd try) 15min to make.

Two main downsides:
1. Really does need loctite (just as all assemblies do) to stay put for field usage....so rapid adjustment is figurative. I suppose you could adjust it, check, adjust it, check and then loctite it.

- the RAtech one does not need loctite...so it's check, adjust, check, adjust

2. The adjustment collar is tight and small...good in that it wont go anywhere, not so good in that you need pliers to grip it to turn it (or freakishly tiny little fairy hands).

Major Upside:
- basically free (to me )
- kept me out of trouble for 2 evenings

Pics later
