Got back from WY yesterday, skimmed AR and found a question about a 500 Jeff TD I made a while back. I try to answer all questions, so....whoever asked about the front ring, please PM me....(Can't find the topic) | ||

fla 3006: Thanks: The receiver ring has been "added on" via a false ring superimposed on the original ring. No soldering or welding, just done to provide a longer radius for the scope mounting system. Still...This rifle cracked my eyebrow at least 10 times. much too short eye relief on the Kahles (for me!) Others shot it without the slightest incident... | |||

So, how is the ring held on? I'm sure that is a stupid question, but I had to ask. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Some weaker souls would throw in the towel after only 6 or 8 whacks. How is this attached without any welding or soldering? Is it a cylinder around the front ring? I don't see a seam.  ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

I don't gotta show you no stinking seam! Actually...there are set screws coming in from the bottom. The "seamless" you don't see is just careful blending. Look very carefully at the rear of the ring...you'll see the seam. | |||

Beautiful work! I can just see the seam, I take it that the barrel doesn't attach to the extension? I guess the serial number is a copy of the actual number on the receiver if the the extension isn't permanently attached? | |||

I seem to recall that this same technique was used on one of the very early ACGG auction rifles. I believe it was a 1917 Enfield that had a sleeve attached to it. Good Stuff. | |||
