Michael and all, hope you are having the holidays you are planning for.

Interesting, wonder how well the design held up over multiple mounts and dismounts. Everyone knows the weakness of the takedown concept. An interrupted thread design would be a little more "wow" factor for quarter turn mounting. The notch in the barrel shank, on the underside, is that for a spanner? Is the ring a separate part that is also threaded and could be used to tight the fit. Is that a set screw in the side of the ring?

Very nice wood metal fit around release tang. Checkering (pointing up) a bit weak in the tight spots.

Thank you Michael & Dan for taking the time from this busy time of year to share!
