Hi all,


I'm a little confused...

I have recently bought a Long Branch LE and on purchase was told it had a new barrel. I was skeptical but bought it any way.

I got it home and slugged the barrel. Using my Kinchrome calipers the slug measured out at .303...hmmm I thought they were .311 - .312... so I re-slugged a second time and the result .303 again. I measured a round from remmington for their .303 Britishicon SP and that measured in at .3045

So my assumption is that the new barrel is a recent production and milled with new technology to get it to exact .303?

I thought that most new barrels were spec'd to mil-spec at .311?

Any thoughts?
