I just typed up a nice lengthy repy with thanks,info., and more questions. Upon submitting I had a system time out and all was erased. I will re-type it all when I get back from town! :-[ 82boy, This would be a small shank 1.055x20TPI on the bbl. then?

I am going to pick up the rifle now as I did not get a chance yesterday. Back in a bit.

Thanks guys for all your help thus far!
