Thanks Billy
Definitely gets confusing...

I started out thinking KR with KL guides... I’m tough on rods and figured I’d wreck a rod with KL-H guides...

I may start with a KW with similar height as a KL-30..

I’m thinking if it’s a decent COF from the collector to choke the rod will work good enough for a duffer like me

Back when I built the M I drew a CAD plan of the rod and just updated it for this build...

Basically too cold outside to do anything else.... LOL
