    Hello, it was for a Air Arms MK1 S200. Sorted now, barrel blank and swarf, all I need now is for a reamer to arrive and I am all done.
    Thank you.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    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.

    Isn't the S200 actually a CZ built rifle, did you attempt to get one direct from them ?

    Hello angrybear, Sir you are not wrong and indeed they are marked as such, it was quite simple really, I just didn't think of it. It has been a crazy couple of weeks with family and domestic stuff. Just more of the same old stuff and I am not too good at sorting more than one thing at a time.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Having a barrel sent to your local RFD is not the only option, you can have a finished barrel sent direct to your home address if you send the old barrel to the online business such as Chambers. This counts as a 'Face to face' transactions and you can have the old barrel returned with the order, a much cheaper option than via a RFD!

    From Chambers

    PLEASE NOTE REPAIRS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS NEW LAW

    We are still able to sell major parts by mail order if they are part of an exchange/repair, so for example if we receive a cylinder/barrel/silencer etc. from a customer we can exchange it for a new cylinder/barrel/silencer etc.

    We have marked on our site items that must be sent to dealers or incorporated into repairs.
    https://www.gunspares.co.uk/News/


    Exchange in my thinking is you send them your and they send you a new one and they keep your old one.
