Still looking. Might be interested in a Sherman oil bath air cleaner or something similar.

we have a few leads on a new or new to us barrel, just waiting for them to pan out. We are waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive (this week) before we get to far along repairing stuff that we might already have. The shop in Illinois can machine a new rifled barrel, but would need a good breech ring to copy the threads.

Hello, I don't want to hijack your WTB post, but if you feel comfortable would you be willing to share the name of the machine shop that can machine a new barrel? I'm trying to figure out if there are options out there for non-US armor, as I was always under the impression that any live barrels or breech rings in the US never left or are very old imports.

Thanks
