Rudyard, Sounds like you know about barrels. Interesting. When a golfer hits his ball its destination is no longer in his control. He may elect to hit another claiming he deserves another mulligan. If he doesn't adjust his attitude, that ball will closely follow the first. I'll wait to...

Would you PM me? First time I tried it my message went elsewhere, I haven't done it since. Thanks, Steve

Rudyard, Starting this trip, I hoped the chemistry make up of different quality ML manufacturers would be reflected in the quality of their barrels. Not so. Because the one bought hasn't a manufacturer stamp I consider the purchased barrel may be a cull. Still, by knowing a quality...

When the going gets tough The tough get going You heard it the other way?

So, bought a barrel off Ebay the other day. Haven't seen it yet. Picture, yeah but not very informative. Seller didn't know terminology or how to sell it, apparently. No manufacturer name, we'll see when it arrives. The barrel is in the white, unfired, never received a breech, no cuts...

Here I am answering a thread that isn't mine. Must be going nuts, , ,no I not. Just me.

Glad to hear it. Thanks for your input. Steve

Yeah, I changed the title. 38 caliber is not my best idea or a good one. Sorry, Steve

Thank you for offering this treasure. I wish I were there to personally behold it. Not possible. So I will not be buying this item. Thank you, Steve

I hope you understand that armed with this knowledge there really is no excuse to not move ahead with goals that seemed much more difficult. THANK YOU, no, I really do thank you along with so many others, Steve

Baame! More food for thought. Never would've dreamed. Thanks, Steve

I like your rifle. That's not fluff. From the pictures it looks solid and well fitted from back when the barrel and stock were put together to now. Is there more information you could tell me or show that might make you more comfortable selling it, to me, that is. Thanks, Steve P.S. I...

Many thanks for your input. A near feature of the Forum is once it's written a person can re-read it later and get a more complete explanation on what to do. Thanks, Steve

I resemble that remark, clunky. Telling you these facts. 1. I have yet to buy the barrel. The one hoped-for isn't as it seemed. So that element is not yet fixed. 2. The stock is owned by the writer but, that factor can be changed when 1 becomes reality. In the meantime, what a wealth of...

Valuable information. Whoa, never thought of that. Thanks, Steve

So glad of your reply. I was thinking, if the barrel mic's a .38 it would use a .375 ball with a light patch. But what do I know. Might figure something out. Thank again for your reply, Steve

Don't call me hoss, I'm a chicken. Really, it is a waste of time and energy being offened. Life's to short. The filing idea was just that, an idea, though I do wonder if it generated any joy. I had to smile 😃 thinking about me laboring over a tube of steel, hour after hour with another stick...

Not offened! Thanks for the input. After posting, I noticed the date on the ad. Heres hoping he's alright and just forgot about the ad. Steve

Tech moron, this is reasonable, too. The veneer could be cut to fit the stock. Then attached to the barrel. What about when the barrel is LARGER than the stock? If its of a smaller caliber can the barrel be filed down? Like a 1" barrel with a .36 caliber bore, filed down to 15/16s on...

Type O in the above. Should read "thing not think". But you knew that. Steve
