The bolt back a tad, and mag drilled for the flex, which then went up the (presumably clear) bore were the things I noticed at once

If anyone on the forum has a micrometer adjusting spanner I think it will be you, Ed. A mighty 3" long and less than an 1/8" thick? But I saw this offensive weapon refused access to a flight from Perth WA to Auckland NZ a few years ago. I normally regard this as one of the more sensible areas of the globe but if you're taking yours on a tour of the Antipodes put in your suitcase, not your pocket.
