I have checked at Home Depot several times with no luck, but that could just be me. Whatever you do, don't ask an employee, even if they work in the air compressors section. I made this mistake once, and confused the guy extremely badly. He then led me around the store for at least 8 minutes searchi...

I have thought about using GGDT in the past, but have afraid of downloading it only to discover it doesn't work on my imac. And no, I do not have Windows installed on it. (my brother hates when I download anything, esp. when I don't/ can't use it). Will it work?

I'm assuming that you let it cure for long enough? - I looked it up on their website and it says that it cures fully in 15-24 hours. Other than that, I don't really know.

Ok, I decided this would be the best barrel for my soon-to-be-finished bbmg, but I have been unable to find these near the price ranges mentioned above. If anyone has a link, please give it to me.

Simple Vortex Cap bbmg

In the very near future (I plan on getting parts later today), I will be building a simple vortex cap bbmg.
