Plus;
I've owned two. First one, 500/416, wouldn't chamber anything in the right barrel except WR ammo. The rim cut on that barrel was too shallow to take SAAMI ammo. Then, after the factory screwed around with me for months, the ammo fit, however the forearm cracked in half after 8 rounds.
The RIM won't take SAAMI ammo ?
What specs did they use to proof the gun
or are SAAMI Specs so different to CIP ?
But thinking about it, 500/416 is a Euro design,
it's surprising that ammo being recent manufacture
doesn't work ?
I just had a look and it seems Blaser isn't a member of SAAMi, not that it should matter.
