Much excitement today - barrel has finally arrived! Dimensions are all pretty good, a couple of areas need tidying up a little but it’s exactly what I was after. The hand lapped bore looks beautiful. They’re also lending me go/no go gauges so hopefully I’ll start on the threads and head spacing it shortly.

Got a Colombian carbine rear sight sleeve on the way too - it should be a good substitute for an original Type B sleeve, especially after some contouring...
