SwampFox,

I have not checked in here for a while as I've been playing with a 6.8 lately.

I bought one of tp555's stainless barrels in October 2009 I believe. Is a 16" mounted on a BRO upper/lower. Did order a chamber gauge at the same time. The chamber gauge is a wonderful thing! Get one!

I did not want to go through the Form 4 hassles of a shot bbl again (Sheriff has changed and is not Class III friendly) and I wanted to hunt with the rifle ... so I went with a 16" tube.

I do use mil brass as I have a bunch of it ... and the chambering gauge is necessary to figure out what pattern is needed to properly form brass.

Tp555 is a straight shooter who does lovely machine work. You can depend on him!

Mike
