reloading and the 7.62 No.4

[Dimitri]

Liquid penetrant or magnetic particle?

As far as I am aware (and I stand corrected if a 'real' expert comes along) I recall hearing that it was a 'dye penetrant' examination of locking lug recess and shoulder...but I'm unsure if it encompased the whole action as such.

God I hoped not when I first read Ireload's comment. I have seen products pass the dye method only to fail horribly using magnetic particle and other more expensive methods of finding faults. Not many mind you but enough to worry me. Still the cracking a receiver would receive I'd imagine is on the surface then into the metals core, so its not too big of a deal and dye penetrant will catch that.

Its a No4 MK2 with a 26inch target barrel on it, so it looks like an enforcer, and has a scope on it.

The later Envoy's and Enforcers may have had a set pattern for barrel length etc as I was originally told, but I am doubting that the early ones did. Just based on the fact my E2* came from the factory as a 29" barrelled rifle. If it looks like one then its good in my books. I am not a purist with military surplus arms.
