The "make a boring bar" is looking like the most straightforward (so to speak) solution for me. It involves using the boring head the way it was meant to be used -- a concept I'm just starting to think about adopting.
That is what I meant - running in reverse. With light cuts I would guess you might have a 90% chance of it working if using sleeve retainer alone. Again that is just a GUESS on my part. I could be wrong. I've never tried it myself. When I installed the sight base on my barrel I let it cure for about a week. I tested it's strength by wailing on the base with a rubber mallet and a plastic dead blow mallet to see if it would move. Not even a fraction of an inch which is what impressed the heck out of me.
I do agree making your own or purchasing an index-able LH bar would be the best way to go though. I should do the same myself actually.
