Re-Chambering

Thats why we reload Rhino. We can get primers, bullets and cases by the 1000 (when the shops have em in stock). Crazy thing is the only restrictions on powder is black powder. That has to be stored in metal containers. The usual brand names can be stored without metal containers. I know with the packages being plastic there's little chance of an explosion but rifle powder will burn if the house catches fire. Crazy thing is any kid can make black powder by the bucket load same with nitrates you can buy it from any garden center mix it with diesel and you have the standard explosive as used in quarries or by the IRA when they were acting up. Other crazy rule here in the uk is anybody can have a case primed without powder or head and it's not illegal but as soon as you put powder in and the head on it is. 

  How true Rhino! How very true!

I'm sure of it! Trouble is 1 of the parties involved is extremeist to say the least. BNP are standing for election in June for the Euro parliament. If they get in the fur will really fly. UKIP is another party who are determined to get the UK out of the EU. Current costs to the UK for membership is around 40 billion /day and it's bankrupting us. The EU is corrupt has been proven to be corrupt and couldn't give a toss about the immigrant situation. Basicaly they'll let the immigrants through dump em on us and let us carry the can. The general concensus is we have been badly let down by this and previous governments and it's time for a change. Just pray that the BNP don't get into power because it will be like Nazi Germany in the 30s and 40s. 1 idiot ramrodding the show backed by a bunch of thugs! 

Nope the same thing is NOT happening in England! The BNP have long been associated with violence and race hatred. They originated from the National Front a bunch of Skinhead thugs who used the cross of St George as their emblem, used terror tactics against asians and blacks. Hence the hatred for the cross of St George OUR national flag!!!! A branch of the NF was Combat 18 similar to the thugs Adolf had backing him and their beliefs were similar too. Any dammned fool who says the Holocaust never happend worships the Nazi party and all they stood for is definately BNP material. Oh yessss they say we should all have guns (a ploy to get ligitimate owners to back them) they try to promote a respectable front since the bloodless coup which deposed the original chairman and installed the current lunatic.  British people are usually very laid back and thats taken as a sign of weakness! Don't be fooled trouble will come but hopefully from a more moderate group not a bunch of Neo Nazi thugs with few brains who can barely string 2 words together and make a sentence.  Best comparison to the BNP would be your KKK in America. 

How some female (correction split ass) who doesn't live here can have the brass nerve to comment on Brit politics and way of life is beyond me. Same old story folks think Britain is run by Washington and Washinton knows best. We have had enough of being taken for a ride and now the gloves will come off. The politicians are corrupt abuse their allowances live high off the hog and say anything to stay in parliament.  Cromwell must be spinning in his grave, as must Winston Churchill.
     Yes this should be OFF Topic so if you want to ask any more questions feel frr to p[ost and ask on that forum.

Along this line does anyone know where #1, #4, and #5 Barrel Drawings might be found and obtained?  Specifically,  machinist drawings that show the Barrel Proflies.

The lugs can be machined whilst cutting the barrel. It needs a piece of steel same diameter as the lugs they can be milled out if you have a competent machinist doing the job.

By .30 Cal do you mean a barrel for .308 dia projectiles?  Or some other bore size?
