Once upon a time I was on the old spudtech forum musing about a gun I wanted to build. It took years to make it happen, but I made it happen. Today I find myself musing about another... Anyone in the mood for a 10X hybrid with a 6" bore? It probably won't happen, but I've been thinking a lot about one as of late.

Is this for work or personal use? I assume the former, but after VERA nothing surprises me. If it's for work, why kind of application are you thinking about? In other words, why build a 10x 6" bore hybrid over other more conventional designs?
If it's for personal use, whatever the hell you're planning to do with it I hope it's legal![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.png)

Management asked me if I would be interested in building VERA a little sister so I've been day dreaming. No idea of application. Hell, they could want a table top model and my day dreaming is totally off in left field. But for now the new dream is taking shape in my mind.

Surely it could be fabricated within a week from more or less standard parts?

Heh....
So today I had a brief conversation with the individual who was the source of the rumors. He's very excited about VERA and wants to use her to do some testing of a nature I'd never heard of before (don't bother asking). If it works, yes, he'd like me to build a sister for VERA.....
....A big sister.
It was all I could do not to kiss the guy right then and there. It's another of those "probably won't happen" things, but if it does, I plan to be ready!

Build the damn thing already Dave, don't leave us hanging! Vera burned a hole in all of our hearts until she lost her stage fright, then filled that depth with glorious, high powered love. Don't burn another hole, doooon't! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.png)

What's the highest mix number VERA has handled so far?
