    Hammer Forged Barrels

    Surpmil,

    not to take away from the No 4 barrels that Centurion is organising....

    Late last year I contacted Peter Sarony at Armalon in the UKicon.

    Armalon have the ex-Parker Hale hammer forged barrel manufacuring plant.

    Peter is prepared to make a batch of "L42" profile hammer forged barrels in 7.62. They would have conventional rifling (not chordial)

    Peter also proposed a barrel locking mechanism to enable the setting of CHS and postioing of the extractor slot.

    Cost of one or two barels is a bit pricey but the cost would come down with a larger batch.

    Perhaps Armalon could also make a batch of SMLE H barrels if the demand is strong enough.

    Paul
