Thanks for the clarification on the sling question.

The chambering...
Hm.

I just don't know what to think.
Don't know how to ask -- can't even concieve how a chamber reamer could run through and come back out, then standard ammo couldn't ???

I'll be content to wonder on that one.

Funny how this string of threads on this rifle and it's issues have affected how I've been looking at a friend's 9.3mm German double (which I covet)
I had it in my hands today, I noticed things about it this afternoon that stood out and screamed for a closer look, months ago when I first handled it and shot it I'd seen the same things, but they didn't *really* get my attention like they did today.

I'll just have to look forward to hearing some kind of report from the JJ end of this story. Do you think you could get a more detailed account from him on the chambering issue, and also what about the rifle suggests to him that it's barrels are damaged?
