Default 2x-3x update.

as i had posted earlier i chose a used 3x gun and ordered a few rivet sets. kind of balked at a tungsten bucking bar as i am not building a solid rivet plane, just putting some in selected places.
went to my favorite welding shop today and for $4 they bandsawed a piece of stock 1'' x 2'' x 4''. this will get me started. with their large selection of bar stock i can getting a few other sizes for a few bucks a piece.

Tungsten bucking bars are the most over rated item in the RV world !
Go on the Yard Store Webb Site , all kinds of shapes and weights of bucking bars for about $10 each . You can buy a dozen for the price of one Tungsten .

Unless you are shooting monel rivets, tungsten bars are not worth the cost.
Come on, you really need one for a -4 AD rivet?

Heck no you don't!
