Barrel breech quesiton...
« on: June 09, 2012, 06:06:42 AM »
Got this Huntsman.  The barrel is tight to the breech all around.  Do I need to... how do I cut out the top of the barrel to make it 'open' please?  I'll be mounting a scope.  Didn't see this in the FAQs.  I'll keep looking though...

Thanks

I just used the mill to cut the top of the barrel open forward to the breech plug, the same could be done with a dremel, mine is a modern barrel with the opening for the primer carrier, so I didn't feel the need to open it up any more, you could make an opening on each side also, but the factory made barrels I've seen(older H&R M156W, Traditions NW edition) just have one opening at the top of the barrel.
