Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 £60 Make sure they have done the job before and are not just an engineering firm that will stick your barrel in a lathe. Go to a gunsmith. 1 Quote Link to post

Deker 3,453 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) That's if they was shipping it to be proofed n back £60 without the proof. Used mid n West Country sports or whatever it's called , the newish one 9 n a kenfig Hill Found keens very hit n miss haven't found them a whole lot better tbh but atleast they're friendlier when you walk in Worst case...circa £30 each way for shipping (less if they are shipping more than one rifle) circa £40 for proof (less if they are sending more than one rifle). So that's £100. Yet they are charging £140 (apparently). Around £120 for cut thread crown and proof from a TOP man round here. £200 is taking the Michael!

charlie caller 3,654 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Steve Kershaw will do a top job mate Quote Link to post
The greenkeeper 4 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Waiting for a reply Charlie found a tikka s/s synthetic with rcbs dies scope rings and 90 rounds of federal ammo the down side it's not cut so I assume it's been used on a range and shot out looks mint but pictures not always what they seem bonus thou it's only 30 min drive so if it's a dog nothing lost Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Very much doubt it will have a barrel problem, .222 is not noted for burning barrels, or throats out, but of course only a careful check will tell you, if the ammo is not fmj then the chances of it being a range gun is unlikely, some people dont bother moderating .222 as its not a loud calibre in the scheme of things, good luck, hope its ok for you. 1 Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I moderate my .222 and it was the best move I ever made. Joy to shoot, and you could be in someone's garden shooting it and they`d be lucky to hear it. 1 Quote Link to post

Either their garden is very big or my moderator has ceased to function Mine is still more than loud enough with a moderator...must be my ears. Quote Link to post
