Doble Troble Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I've used three of these now on sporters and I'm wondering what they were built to be used for. Do any of you guys know? The one I'm talking about are Sarco #MSR110 on this page. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephanovich Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I bought two of these a few years ago for future projects. In my notes, I have this info: 19.63" barrel made by FN for 1922 Brazil carbine. Best accuracy with 154 gr bullets. They are a nice quality barrel for sure. My 2 kopecks, ...Stephanovich...

BobVZ Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 When these appeared on the market over a dozen years ago, they were advertised as being FN manufacture for the 1922 Brazilian carbine. I bought one back then and used it to build a sweet carbine with a 1909 Argy action. The late gun writer Finn Aagard wrote an article shortly before his death about a Mannlicher carbine he re-barelled with one. He was quite pleased with it. The full length stock tends to disguise the "steps" and make it more eye appealing. Many of these barrels have some pitting on the outside due to contact with the storage spacers in the crates they were packed in, so buyer beware. If you get a good one its hard to go wrong for the money. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerfive Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I have to chime in on this one. That listing said "bores perfect". I just caution you to verify that upon delivery. I got one of those a few years ago. It was coated in cosmoline and in a plastic sleeve. I was discussing the barrel with Tanglewood and he was saying how they have a long throat and benefit from facing off the breech and deepening the chamber to net out shortening the throat. So I took it out of the sleeve to check the throat. I found the bore full of rust. The Rat Bastards hadn't coated the bore with cosmoline, just the outside and chamber.
