Here are some pictures, at least I'll try as attachments, the insert image icon has impenetrable instructions...:
The measurements of the fired Steyr case as compared to an UNFIRED case are:
just forward of the web, near the incipient case separation, .476 vs. .470; approx. 1/2 way to the beginning of the shoulder, .456 vs. .452, and just at the beginning of the shoulder, .437 vs. .432. I think the reamer was simply out of spec? The distance from ctg face to beginning of shoulder is 1.747 for each case.
The other pictures do not show well that the muzzle end has been cut right at the beginning of the front sight ramp and filed flat, recrowned.
Does anyone know if NOS bbls are available? I did find some for the Swedes on epay, actually installed one that worked well.
Hope you enjoy the pics.
