RIC barrel bushing/sleeve
Hey guys,
so this winter i want to restore this RIC Carbine that i got a year ago.
It is missing the barrel muzzle bushing (or sleeve)
i have a friend that can easily turn me one but i would like to confirm the dimensions.
Anybody has the specs for it or has precise dimensions of an original ?
I have an original RIC (desporterized by someone else) but would like to double check before starting.
For length i have 0.988
Diameter i have is 0.656
And the barrel it's going onto has a diameter of 0.566... so the inside diameter of the sleeve/bushing should be the same.
If the fit is tight i could probably just tap it into place with a drop of Loctite.
One more thing, anybody knows if the RIC muzzle barrel would have been crowned, under the sleeve ?
I'm thinking mine was re crowned after the sleeve was removed.
Thanks for all the help :thup:
