New .22 barrel time

[Got2hav1]

OK, it's on now. Let's see if "old snubbie" can out shoot my Lothar Walther barrel. Just got a new Lilja 16.5" from Bullet Central. ( They had 5 in stock last week if anyone is looking for a Lilja drop in.) I set the headspace but may have to tighten it up a little. I don't see the lands marking the round yet, but not a big deal. I will shoot it first and see how it does. Going to give it a try tomorrow if the wind calms down.

So I just got back from shooting "old snubbie". I'm going to call it a big time success. First ever perfect target. 2500 score.

It’s a shooter for sure, I just wish CZ mags was in stock

I don't understand, unless it is still a supply chain issue. Seems a lot of companies are out of important parts and pieces.

Probably not a big part of Lilja's business but on the CZ drop in barrels I was told to call back in 3 months and they should have some available.
Found the 16.5" barrel in stock at Bullet Central and had it in a few days.
The times we live in I guess.

Yet I can order 10 round Tikka mags left and right.

Makes me wonder if the Colt acquistion has things backed up.
