    The more you guys talk about this, the more Im tempted to try one. What would be a good set up for a 555? Anything in particular pop out to anyone?

    Thanks SF, I'll have to take mine apart sometime so it makes more sense at what I'm looking at.

    Take it off and if you have patience and some 1/4" bits you can gut the pipe out of it and let it be a hollow can. It took me about an hour to do the 555 I had.

    I'm sure if you wanted to do one? The fine members here would walk you through it.

    Lots of good deflectors out there. Or you can make your own.
