Thanks Devnull, I'll confirm mine is the same tomorrow. I forgot to mention, since many may end up here researching this rifle, it is a 4-groove barrel with wide grooves and narrow lands. And the "vertical" side of the lands have a very gentle slope (like the sloping land edges in 5-R rifling but in a 4-groove). It's a stout barrel, 0.673" at the muzzle. More to follow as I learn and shoot. Rex
