50 caliber? .54”?

 

[stank]

Caliber?

 

[William Schenck]

Whoops! Left out the most important thing. It’s hard to get an accurate measurement with calipers on a barrel with an odd number of grooves but it is .58 Caliber.

Is the barrel fitted to the action?

 

[Bad Karma]

PM sent.

 

[William Schenck]

Not sure. I can get out to the shop tomorrow and see if I can tighten it up.

 

[William Schenck]

I don’t have the necessary tools to completely tighten the barrel. I clamped the barrel in a vise with soft jaws and was able to turn the action to within a half round. There are witness marks to show barrel alignment.. I believe it will tighten up correctly..

Hi, I sent you a personal message. Did you get it?
I built a boxlock years ago, and wish to build another.
Please contact.

Where did he go?
Is he still alive?

 

[Bad Karma]

I sent him a check for the action and barrel. I doubt it has arrived yet.

 

[William Schenck]

I’m still alive just waiting for the check to arrive.
