At the stage of getting things together. Spoke with Douglas Barrels today. They will fit a 5A 23” barrel to my Win M-70 action and use my Manson 460 G&A reamer - when it’s ready - to chamber the barrel. Big step forward.

Will need to wait for the barreled action to return before deciding about the current SG stock vs something different. All dependent on the barrel taper.


Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
