Sorry, shouldn't have picked on 'ya. I figured he'd already had it apart and maybe the guys who told him the sight would have to come off first, just meant if he wanted the hand guard completely free of the barreled action.Quote:

Maybe I'm "losing it," but figured it would still come apart along with the hand guard. Now, I'll have to try one tomorrow. The weather man here has us down for a big "snow event" starting on Thursday.
He's been telling us that every week since about Christmas! Don't have anywhere I need to go, so not too worried about it. :thup: - Bob
The crown is the rounded shape of the barrel at the muzzle. If the barrel was shortened, it would require being re-crowned. Also the diameter at the end would need machined down and a new slot cut to allow fitting of the front sight and key. - BobQuote:

I still have my dad's tool chest with dozens of engineering gauges he made himself over the years.
As a side note....
In the early 1960's, the telecommunications company he worked for at the time lost a big contract to a competitor, pictures were 'obtained' of this rather complicated piece of equipment and my dad led a team of engineers secretly reverse engineering and bench testing it from the pictures alone!
Now that's an engineer!
Got you Bob, tx =)Quote:
