    finloc- a great deal in any language! Congrats! Next task, a range report?

    Gingercat... I'd think yours had a long butt fitted in service to suit the operator as they all would have left the factory as standard. Maybe Peter can shed light on this?

    Going to celebrate my nation's independence on July 4th, by putting some English holes in American paper tommorrow. I will let you know how she does. I stripped her and gave her a healthy drink of BLOicon yesterday. checked the bedding, free floating barrel (foreward of the knox form), good lands and no pitting in the barrel; she should shoot better than me.

    And she does; about 2" groupings at 100 yards with Prvi Partizan 180gr. BT. I will try her next time with some handloads using flat base bullets.
