    Exactly what I've been banging on about for ages.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Well you see, buying it through a local RFD you see was my first post of call, he that I have always used and got all my bits from and is the main supplier of spares, was unfortunately unable to supply. Basically if he is unable to source then you have had it. I thought that I might have stood a chance with Chambers, Knibbs etc. but that turned out to be no chance.
    Hey ho, I have learnt that you can order a blank and get it delivered, to your door, next day.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Silco do barrel blanks, about 2/3 the price of chambers.

    Worth thinking about if there is a next time.

    For the uninitiated, what needs done to change a ‘blank’ into a usable barrel?
