Well guys and gals it has finally showed up. Door to door delivery time was 14 days. The looks is like I figured...fantastic. I have included photos so I will give dialog with those.
Barrel as received from UPS.
The shank profile is the same as the factory barrel.
Crown typical 11° and very nicely done.
This barrel chamber is cut with the Eley EPS reamer. The round I have in the barrel is Eley Team which has the EPS bullet shape. What you see sticking out is the amount of bullet that will get pushed into the rifling when the bolt is closed.
Setting headspace is done with the ammo you want to shoot. Obviously in my case I used ammo that matched my chamber to begin with. All you do is insert the round in the chamber, stand barrel on the end, have bolt in the receiver, cocked with safety on, slip the receiver down on the barrel shank, align the extractor and cut and push down until the barrel stops. After this you can tighten up the set screws.
I have a few more photos so another post will be made. Please respond after I get the second post made.
