The barreled receiver came today; it does have a scrubbed chamber. I suppose it would have had a date, but it's gone now.
Rest of it looks good; no buffing, no loss of sharp edges. Fits on my P08 frame OK. Barrel is shot. I removed the barrel and cleaned up the receiver.
Tomorrow I'll start on a 140mm/145mm barrel, in either .256 or .22. I took Ed's pic of his Navy and blew it up to life-size and measured the barrel length; 140mm to 145mm is what I get. I'll likely keep the P08 minor/major taper dimensions.
I'm thinking ~140mm for the 256 and 120mm for the .22. Subject to review.
