Jens,

Out of interest, what was the cost of just the new set of barrels, and from what to what ie what use of the old set was made? As you mention total cost of the rifle only.

What projectile were you using again?

I do totally avoid any monometal bullet in my old rifles. And try to limit Woodleigh FMJs as well to need.

Your 'new' rifle looks nice, and hopefully will bring a century of pleasure.
