333 Jeffery barrel dimensions

Finally making some good headway on the .333 Jeffery.

Stock is almost ready for the first of many alkanet drinks.

Then a few little tweaks on the metal work ...

and on to blueing. :A Thumbs Up:
 
When I rust blued the Siamese Mauser 416WSM the laser etched "416WSM" disappeared!
Bob then laser etched the 416WSM again on the blued surface. Laser etching is just that, and not as deep as stamping or proper chisel engraving.

Looks great. You may want to consider nitre bluing the bolt release spring and action screws if you are interested is a little snazzier look

Thanks @318AE - I've been tossing up whether / what to colour case harden / nitre. My gunsmith does a good job on the process.

Flag safety, shroud and grip cap can also look good.

So much for what I originally envisaged as a 'working rifle' :ROFLMAO:

Thanks @rifletuner - latest update...

I'm underway with stock colouring using local Australian made, secret famiily recipe, 6 month steeped alkanet oil - coming up OK so far.

Did some pre-checkering field trials.

The irons seem good at 50m.

Managed to stop a charging juice bottle. :ROFLMAO:

Then bagged a management hare.

Excellent mate!

Bit under gunned for hare, but shot placement is everything!
 
there is a wax in the Auctioneer's Promise finishing oil i used, that can just be re-applied as needed

and i also use Renaissance wax - it is also good for metalwork as well, like the Gillys

the Gillys looks good - I hadn’t see that before

Thanks Richard - took a while but a good result.

Yep the stock is one of Cam's.

A fully Queensland solution. :-)

Yours sounds great - have you posted any pics and I missed them?

Cam's stocks always seem to have enough figure to make the finish worth all the extra hours. That Queensland combo has come together nicely.

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
