    Sharing is caring right?
    A couple more used 6mm barrels from guncity's website arrived today to fit up on some 6x45 converted mates rifles.

    All have been labeled 6mm TCU, none of them were.
    Three of the four barrels were clearly all badly chambered by the same guy, all have been very roughly cut with a .223 reamer with bad deep radial scratches in the chamber then plunged with a 6mm neck and throat reamer to no particular depth!? One of the barrels neck and throat was so long that a bullet seated to mag length would have a 7-8mm jump to the lands.. Im pretty sure most bullets would be out of the neck before engaging the rifling! Heres a pic of the chamber castings from the first fluted barrel I got and the two that arrived today. The one in the third pic has the longest neck and throat. I have put a 6x45 case trimmed to the correct length above it and a 6mm TCU (6x45 Ack Imp) below it for reference.

    Plenty of meet to cut off and correctly rechamber though.
    One will be fitted to a Sako vixon and two on some Czech made Zastava mini Mausers.
