    All of the above, but all so remember the headspace is done on the rim so this may be correct on the barrel you were having difficulty with, that is why there are guages for inspecting the large and small cones in the chamber to see if it in spec or if its BLR/ZF.

    I don’t at all understand what you’re saying. Going to read on it some, thanks!

And not all of the original builders are building them currently. Most are around, but they seem to be little interested in taking back in a problem gun and working out the bugs. Sad situation. I guess that has transpired as the bugs were worked out on designs (sort of), but the kits started to dry up?
    I’m not the litmus test, but the Bren build isn’t as common as it was several years ago in the US. I think part of it is the kits drying up and getting more $$. I also feel that building guns from kits has dropped off significantly across the board. When AK kits (the gateway drug!) were $99 with an original barrel in tact, it was much more feasible to get into building.

    Now there’s more involved, and more specialized processes to get people hooked and even considering builds. When an AR or Glock can be ‘built’ for less than a case of ammo, it’s hard for folks to be intrigued.
