[QUOTE="220s, post: 1100157, member: 91230"] Unfortunately one of the consequences of the gunlaws a buyback that was forced apon us in 1996 was all firearms work must be performed by a licenced gunsmith who must also hold a dealers licence and even unchambered barrels can only be transferred between licenced dealers. Pretty much killed hobby gunsmithing in this country. With most budget rifles down here a lot of the time you can purchase a new one for about the same price as having a new barrel fitted. Agree with your comments regarding barrel length, 240 would be better served with a 26" tube, Im actually contemplating fitting a 28" to my swift as it is never shot more than about 50y from a vehicle. The 240 with 55gr should be almost a ballistic twin to the swift with 40gr driven flat out should make a great varminter and still be a useful longer range medium game outfit with heavier pills.
