The barrel was built in Austria many years ago and recently rebored by Delta Gunshop. It's one of the few integral rib half round/octagon that didn't have any rear sight dovetail cut into the barrel. Musta come with a peep.

I wouldn't push your Erfurt too hard. Pretty sure they are small ring, large thread.
There are some more pics of the Mex posted above over here at.

That barrel really pops. I plan on pushing the creedmoors at 2,900 plus. Definitely won't push it over 3,000. I think the large thread Douglas Premium chromoly barrel can handle it.


It's the small ring action with that barrel that is the concern. I keep my Erfurt loaded to 50 kpsi maximum.

Conduct is the best proof of character.
