John, Rick, Sieger, & unspellable! Thanks for your input! I am starting to get a grasp on what you mean as to different bore dimensions for different reasons! If I made a quality barrel that was basically "made to order" or "made to spec." I would probably stamp the bore designation on the bottom, same as what the Germans did?? I would guess the bore dimension varied greatly on the originals, why would they mark them otherwise?? I would be interested in the lowest number recorded, (8.8?) and the highest?? What was the original range?? If I were starting today on the project...I would use blanks with a bore measuring .355 ?? More input please! Thanks guys..this is pretty interesting... Sieger, I sent you an email?? Did you get it?? If not, I'll send it again! til...lat'r...GT
