it is ... got it home, chucked up a scrap piece of 40mm dia ali bar, faced it and turn it down to 30mm dia over a 25mm length... measured it for parallel & square.. i cant measure any error.... but more tests needed over longer lengths..

The Halifax went for £240, 25bids...that was a bit more than I was expecting :surprised:, an Atlas 10 went for £195 the day before.
