    scope mounts for GM barrel

    Well if its that easy to take off ill give it a try :hatsoff: use the stuff at work and have to grind it off.Could use bases for round barrel then ?,because the JB weld would fill in.

    scope mounts for GM barrel

    Dixie ,Thanks for the neat tip may work for some other project Im doing with a rebarreling job on a Cherokee rifle . Papa its a 15/16 barrel,do they scuff the barrel up real bad? Huntin Dawg was thinking on resting the rifle at the major stress point ( at the wedge pin).
