[QUOTE="Wayne_Teipen, post: 177642, member: 627"] The real delimma with converting a P-lip to a fishtail is the airway diameter at the bit. Peterson drills all the way through with the equivalent of something like an 1/8" bit with leaves you with a thick, chunky feeling bit, which is why I'm not a fan. The only way to have a comfortable and attractive modification is to heat and stretch the bit end of the stem to narrow the airway to closer to 1/16" then cut a slot and file a new button. There's plenty of stem material there to do it. The problem is that it's too much work and effort to do it and get good results. [/QUOTE]
