I've got the pieces rounded up to do another. Not for sale, only for my use, though I could custom build one for someone if they wanted.

Hi, I have an older G-23 with CDI and I love it. However, more power would be nice also. Would you tell us what modification to ther case are necessary? My case is already trimmed for minimum weight. Thank you very much.

Sincerely, Richard
