I seem to recall that a Judge once ruled that "Guidance" was not the law .

Well done with that. For anyone with a lathe contemplating doing the same - you can save a bit of work (particularly on the seating stem) by buying 'blanks' from LE Wilson which just need a chamber reamer up 'em then shortening to length.

The Wife poked her head around the door to look at the new gun while I was building it up fitting the scope etc. She said hmm it looks like a machine gun or something out of the game call of duty you should get your Grandson to show you how to use it. No answer to that is there.

The only problem I have is getting hold of the chamber reamers trying to buy them from UK suppliers if you are not a registered firearms dealer or gunsmith is impossible I have to get mine elsewhere.

Actually I have made a couple of sets for my own use without chamber reamers as long as I get the base of the case (the head) the right diameter and the length and the case neck size right they work fine. (For me)
