Congrats Patrick ...

That s a good idea! Will have to think up some arrangement ... maybe a wet `phone book. There´s no keyholing, the muzzle is ok and the bore is almost mirror (no sign of damage from overzealous cleaning at the muzzle end). The best German manufacturer (Hensel) made the mould according to front and back cerrosafe castings. And the chamber limits the COAL. Over approx. 47mm, the tip of the bullet comes up against the lands. I have noticed that at 100 metres (and especially at 50 metres) there´s splatter around the bullet hole on the paper target (I take it to be grease). I use a bore snake after about every 15 rounds and I ALWAYS blow down the barrel from the chamber end after every round. The lack of accuracy could be partly caused by the front barrel screw that attaches the muzzle protector (I´ve noticed that some old cav. carbines have been altered to make them free floating.

Patrick, the pic is too small and I can´t make out the rifles. You´ll have to come up with some excuse as to which of the not altogether prepossessing individuals you choose to be identified with.
