18" JSE Surplus barrel with a .125" bolt face.
Just a FYI, the barrel was originally advertised as a SAAMI spec chamber requiring a .136" bolt face. So I purchased just that. After the first two rounds I could see the shoulder on the spent case was "ballooned" out. After purchasing a set of gauges, sure enough, the bolt would close on the no-go gauge. I contacted JSE and they said to send the Alexandria Arms bolt back and they would send me the required bolt. Well, the cost difference was $35 and I had to pay shipping. Eventually I got them to send me a shipping label and give me the $35 dollars in store credit.
Whats the chances of JSE giving me a total refund? My consumer confidence in them is at zero.

Ugh. Yet another FUBAR purchase. Sorry man, keep it updated.

The new bolt came today from JSE Surplus. Unfortunately the extractor channel is machine to deep. This puts the extractor to close to the center of the bolt face and is messing up my case rims bad.

Dot. Dot. Dot. Sorry man, just keep the train moving. It'll pick up speed when you start heading down hill again...
