6.5shooter Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 It will feel like firing a 22 rimfire with that on!! Doing the same with a new build myself only slightly thinner at muzzle depending on what the stock foreend will take. Regards Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Visit and Barrel Made, Sunday l arrived early at Mike Norris's for a day to remember and an education and a delight to listen to his whit !!, as l wanted to see how a barrel is made from a tube to a work of art , the day started early with the new barrel being check over , preparing and measuring rechecking and remeasuring this was done at every stage , Mike was explaining as he went along, My old barrel shot as they say , My rifle was taken apart and checked measured making sure all the time , as you only get one chance one cut , The first job was to set the barrel up in the leath and making sure this was spot on getting it concentric to the bore,that took time , first the Action thread , then the Chamber, each time making sure of the concentricity that was so important Mike says, next was me going for a big Mac !! , then the end cap , and after that was the threading for the mod and crowning , and finally the polishing , all these jobs where done to the highest standards , Mike would check and recheck to make sure everything was spot on before moving on to the next part , this takes time due to making sure everything was meticulously done to the last thou and from the pictures you can see this ,Mike knows his stuff my head was full of information , and hints and tips for the future, the polished barrel , the invisible end cap , the rifle on the bench, and a grouping target done today by me finding a load seems it is almost there next update soon thanks for reading Next the final load development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir-slots-alot Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Glen. Nice write up. Even though it is a massive barrel it suits your rifle. ( Although I wouldn't fancy carrying it far ) Looks a great job done by Mike Norris. I am sure the hills of Wales will be filled with the sound of clangging distant gongs in No Tme..
