jonty Posted 21 September 2009 Share Posted 21 September 2009 I am seeking to buy a Mandrel for knocking out a barrel from an action in an Anschutz rifle. Together with a Headspace gauge of 0.046" for refitting the barrel. Or has anyone got one they could loan me. Its for a project I am undertaking. Thank you Jonty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenpointnine Posted 22 September 2009 Share Posted 22 September 2009 Could I suggest you speak to Barry Nesom, who doesn't live a million miles away from you. He could make you a mandrel for a small fee, and he also manufactures headspace gauges (I have a set and they are excellent). Any particular reason for 0.046? 0.043seems to be the currently accepted norm. Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 0.046", I did a google search and found the old Border Barrels page detailing how to do it, and they recommended 0.046, but I bow to yoiur greater knowledge and will try for a 0.043". It just seems the type of tool the ordinary man would maybe use once or twice, and then locate safely at the bottom of a tool box for use in the next decade.

jonty Posted 22 September 2009 Author Share Posted 22 September 2009 Thank you Colin. I guess I was having a nearly senior moment. As I read your thread, I looked down at my comtemporaneous notes taken from the Border Barrels page and saw that I had in fact written down 0.042". Heaven knows where I got .046 from, anyway, has anyone got one! Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyB Posted 23 September 2009 Share Posted 23 September 2009 Dan Lilja does a 0.043" gauge for his drop in barrels if you have no joy anywhere else - $19. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenpointnine Posted 23 September 2009 Share Posted 23 September 2009 Barry does a set of 7 for £25. Every club should have a set. Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
