I’m out, it’s all yours

It is, Go to the proof House and see for yourself. In many ways they are a bit over-stringent and that may not be such a terrible thing for the customer, but can be a pain for people like me Headspace can be the main issue, but you know that when it’s passed, it’s passed

Offer to purchase withdrawn

I’m still waiting on your bank details etc 🙂

They are ejector, not extractor pins, sorry to be pedantic but it will help to explain the situation a bit better

Yes it is Terry Why spend more on some fancy named stuff when you can make it yourself easily

I use the Lanolin/Isopropanol mix, it’s the same as Dillon case lube, as well as some others are and hard to beat, just spray into a cardboard box and shake around then leave to evaporate for 10 mins Its cheap, makes loads and lasts ages all available from Amazon

What are you going to be known as next? GazzAR10 might not be a bad idea 🤣

Cheers ping me some bank details please

Bagsy please

That wouldn't be because they’re still on the embargo/banned/ prohibited list for Russian arms and ammunition by any chance, would it?

We all have good days and bad days 🤣

As Pops says, what action/rifle is it? Factory or custom build? Also are those ejectors moving freely?

Knife arrived safe and sound this morning, a real piece of quality Many thanks for the excellent service Mark

OK, think I've done it, please check and let me know Thanks Mark

Yes he did Steve, I'm not great with Paypal, but have a friend here in the morning who understands these things, so will send the funds in the morning, unless BACS is more suitable? Will pm you my address

Thanks, it's a beauty

I'll buy that please

Nothing scientific, a split rod with emery cloth run at high speed wetted with a suitable lube to stop it clogging, either on the lathe or with a high speed cordless in a video the bench Don't go getting carried away Teflon etc, it’s not necessary, just get a working rifle first Find the lightest/most volumous brass you can to keep pressures down and don’t get too greedy on pressure

I turn and chamber all my own barrels and polish the chambers after reaming to #320-#400 and ensure there are no marks in there I have no experience with chamber fluting, but a good chamber shouldn't be necessary. That said though, it's pretty hot where you are, esp Victoria, so that may be a factor One thing though, why .308 and not just .223? The smaller cartridge has many benefits over .3908 in a SP and is more than capable

You need to get the chamber as polished/smoothed out as you can and also run it at near max or max headspace, and you also need to get away from the nitriding , at least until you have something reliable, but with regards to the nitriding that barrel will now be u/s as you won’t be able to do anything with it. A reamer won’t touch it now sadly. All nice ideas but a rethink is needed What State are you in out of curiosity?

It may or may not be relevant but I found this barrel life predictor on accurate shooter last night, can't verify how accurate it is, but for .223 it seems to be in the right area It's a download BTW http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/barrellifeupdate.xls

So I see 24 42 Karl Fanks 37.838 It's Franks 🧐

This is why posting the results in a timely manner is hugely important 😎

I don't mean to harp on, but this is getting ridiculous It reminds me of the days of PR (Practical Rifle) where you mailed in your entry form along with 2SAE's, one for CoF and one for results. So you'd shoot the match go home with no idea how you'd done, and then 3 weeks later the SAE would arrive to inform you you'd finished 18th or whatever 🧐 In this day of instant access to stuff via social media.."could do better" would be a good phrase to adopt!
