I have had pistols completely jammed up because of this problem.

    Well, I "won" that .22 Buccaneer barrel off the bay, so let's hope it's a bit tighter... and if not, at least now I have a suitable donor barrel for drilling out / re-lining with a 10mm tube

    I also bid on the stock.. my £25 was way off the £40 it went for

    I was tempted to bid on the same stock, but I've already got a template to build my own stocks for the scorpion. It's just finding the time.

    Is it common to get the barrels to reline with?
