Duane Wiebefla 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.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry

ForrestBSome 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.

Duane WiebeI 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.

Rick RBeautiful 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?

22WRFI 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.
