As promised the first of the pictures of this build.

The gun has been stripped and the action dismantled, cleaned up and re-blued.
The barrels cut off before the monoblock and awaiting faceing.
The drawings of the barrels have gone off to Lilja tonight and I await their quote.
I have done the calc's on the barrel weights and it appears that the finished rifle should weigh 10 1/2 - 11 lbs.

Don't have a milling machine at home, so ..
First machine a tapered mandral on the face plate

Checking for a perfect fit. Lots of 600 grade try and try again.

Sucess, now a little jig to hold it in position

.

Won't bore you with the very painstaking clean up but here she is finished. Now just a wait for the US state department to clear myweapon of material destruction barrels for export.

And bless you Dan Lilja for doing this so promptly.

Regards

Well Lilja came through for me and after the usual customs delays I am the proud owner to two superbly machined barrels. Thanks to them and the work is first class.

Breach threaded.

Turning up the barrel stubs and threading them for the breach assembly.

Barrels fitted into breach block.

Fit viewed from breach end and three photos of the barrels assembled.

Now I have to decide on the finished barrel length.

Suggestions please ??

Regards
