Re: My new fly gun build and a nice fluke as well
So spent the weekend polishing up the action and go and grab the bag of bolt bits and well what do you know no extractor claw.
Now the process of trying to find one or import one.
On a positive note Krieger barrel has turned up.

Coming along nicely Greg, glad you could drop in again, figure you must have been pretty busy with the new job.

Not much change from $3.2k with the Aussie dollar so poor. I didn't pay that much thank god.
