Measured mine for interest as well: 52mm bolt travel. For comparison, Ruger 77/22 47mm, Brno Mod 1 35mm. Can't say I'd ever noticed the difference when shooting. Full disclosure: Mine's a...

Exactly. But if you're not an archer, it might be easier and cheaper to get carbon fibre strip and tube from a hobby store - that's what I use.

Well if you were able to shoot the pictured cartridges through it, it certainly would have been one of a kind! :)

Last couple of seasons I've been running Falcon 2-3/4" 35g steel 3's through my Miroku mk10 - no complaints. I'm not an expert, but with a modern interchoke Miroku I reckon as long as you're not...
