Life is quite good!
Ping me contact info, I've killed a mobile device which held your digits.

I'll pass. My Jeffrey is fine for me, the interest was around sharing the stock pattern with others, and that would be more sweat from my brow than I want to spare.





Cheers

I am also re-creating a Lee Speed on a No1 action which has already been cut down to 25". The barrel is well worn but I am going to try very hard to make it shoot in its original.303. If that doesn't work I'll be looking to re-bore to .35 or .375. I'm not sure, however, that there is enough meat in a No1 barrel to re-bore to .375 (i's .668" at the muzzle). I'm still trying to research this point. Have you any knowledge about this?

Just read your old post here & I had a light BSA SMLE profile barrel rebored out to .375, was hoping for 8mm but needed more, can't tell you how it shoots as both barrels stuck in the US !

Ive just finished a magazine conversion for the 375 x 2 1/2 FNE for my Le1 action project . I havent got the barrel chambered as yet so havent been able to see if it feeds correctly Project has been held up due to funds , have the stock and all the bits .Now I have my larger lathe up and running I will be able to chamber the barrel ,when I get a reamer.
