Keep the pictures coming!

I wish I'd taken pix of my first ones.  Oldest pix I have is when I fired it for the first time on July 4th, 1975.

What's the tube going to be? Also, what's the bore size? Or, is it going to be a secret?  :)
If you make it idiot proof, then, someone will make a better idiot.
