When I was a kid, 1960's, the newspaper delivery trucks from which kids threw the papers to the houses cut bailing wire off the bundles and wrapped it on a corner post of the truck cover. When it built up they would throw it off. Dad wanted it so whenever we spotted it in a yard or street we brought it home. Sometimes I'd ask the kids when they were pre tying papers and they always gave it to me. I used that wire up into the late 1970's.
Here is a funny from that bailing wire.
It was galvanized. In 1974 I bought a cutting torch set then used a welding tip to weld up a cart for the bottles. I'd be welding away and it would pop. The more it popped the madder I got.
It took me many hours of this to realize it was from the galvanizing on the bailing wire I used for weld filler rod. :)

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
