Are you gonna use it....? I could be interested, I've not yet gotten a cam.
Later today I'll have pics of my other parts and pieces.

Paul, I'd realllly like to...but for now, I just want to get it running, and reliable. I could port it with a dremel, couldn't I?
What attachments would I want to use?
If it is fairly easy, and not terribly time-consuming, I'll do it.
I've heard of it, but as far as doing it..don't have a clue at all how to go about it.

Your dremel would be dead after the second or third port.  I used an air die grinder on the 88's lower..  a selection of rasps will do wonders..  But Jegs and Summit sell home porting kits.

I had my Cobra lower ported by Tom Moss (Tmoss over at the Corral) and he did an outstanding job. Turn around time was only 5 days. I think it was about $140 including all shipping. I figured that by the time I bought all the nessesary stuff to get set up to port I'd already be $50 or $60 into the cost of having someone else do it. He has a great rep over there and I highly recomend his work. Check out his web site for more info:
