    3/8" facing vs subrail extension

    I'm installing a GC3 this Saturday (or having my mechanic do it) and I want to tighten the corners to 4.5" and sides to 5". I keep hearing that subrail extensions are the way to go but those can be tricky. I see the 3/8" facings at classic billiards and wondering if they are good alternative...

    Aftermarket pocket castings/leg levelers

    I have no reason to believe they are not good but does anyone have any experience with GC3 pocket castings/leg levelers from classic billiards? I want to go chrome and buying them is just as cheap as having them done locally.

    Can I move a 9' GC3 in a short bed pickup?

    I have a short bed F150 super crew. The person selling me the table says I can move it in the truck. Anyone got any first hand experience trying to do this?

    Tightening GC3 pockets

    Can you reduce the corner pockets on a GC3 from the stock 5" to 4.5" without replacing the cushions? I'm concerned that shimming that much will create corners that play weird.

    Trying to determine what model GC this is

    Been doing lots of digging and the seller is helping me a lot. The table is 5 hours away so this is all via messenger. Pocket castings are silver color as is the trim down the edges. And they do not react to a magnet.

    Can you add a ball return to a GC3 after the fact?

    I'm looking at 2 GC3, one $1000 cheaper than the other one. The more expensive one comes with cover and ball return but not installed. The cheaper one does not come with either. If I want a ball return can I add it later?

    Moving a 9 foot GC3

    What is the best way to move a GC3 about 5 hours? Just do a one way rental of a cargo van, stack with blankets, and tie down? I've got an F150 short bed and a 10' trailer. Maybe that would work?
