    Walther barrel

    Has anyone ever removed a century barrel from the breech block ?

    nah but if it's stubborn and you want to shorten by at least the length of the breach block, just stick the barrel in the lathe, block facing the tailstock, and bore it out - that'll remove it

    Good stuff, I didn't think precision engineers had hammers
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
