I was interested in a self leveling tamper lately.

Bought a Normcore V4 but was sorely disappointed in the build quality and didn't want to spend alot on something I was not sure would improve my shot quality much.

Went digging through some scraps and this is what I came up with.










Had to buy the spring and bronze bearing, total $3.75 and a couple of hours on a lathe.

Works very good with a great feel and feedback. I was going to cover the spring but like the exposed spring/industrial look.
