    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    Justin I have no doubt regarding the precision of the Lilja barrel. Having the round fit so loose just doesn't seem right but I understand there is usually more to the story then what it appears to be. But as you stated as I outlined (in red) about Lilja having the "bullet engage the rifling...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    I with mine did that. This thing is not sealing the bullet anywhere and will likely outgas in the chamber. This is kinda what I was expected from the Lilja barrel. I wonder if perhaps I got a bad barrel this doesn't seem right having it so loose . Who knows how much of a gap I have...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    The picture show the bullet resting in the barrel right at the neck of the case under gravity. My bullet just falls into the hole. I looked for the photo to link it but didn't find it (it may be on another forum, I'll looked but haven't found it yet). Why does a match grade 22 fit so snuggly...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    If I'm reading this right what he's basically saying is they open up the chamber to allow for sloppy tolerances. The rim of the cartridge seats flush with the end of the barrel so any tolerance associated with rim thickness takes place on the bolt side not the barrel. Not sure what he was...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    I would think the case would be less apt to rupture if it had a tighter fit in the chamber and not allowed to expand but I don't have a lot of experience at this level and am trying to figure this out. A friend of mine stated the reason for a loose chamber was from the possibility of the round...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    I just received my Lilja .17 HMR bull barrel the other day and noted the Hornady V-max round wiggles a bit in the chamber which doesn't seem right. The cartridge OD is .238" and the chamber measures .244 which is giving me .006 slop. A seated bullet just falls out of the barrel. Is that suppose...

    This is nothing more than pornography and your dangling it right in front of me! Devcon, that's one piece of information I was looking for. One guy was using Marinetex but that stuff is nothing more than JB weld which can be a little brittle.

    The most fun gun I have ever fired was a rimfire. Some people would squawk at that statement but this type of rifle has a lot going for it over a big bore hose. A friend of mine had one of those .50 cal sniper rifles (I think it was a Barrett). It had huge rotating bolt and a magazine that...

    Thanks man Once I saw the 455 Tacticool I was hooked! The problem with this kind of hobby is when your done modding it, what's left of what you originally purchased? I have already read your thread as well as a few others. I think I found a good place to perch regarding owning this...

    Thanks man Do you know of any good open ranges where I can do some target shooting just north of Pasadena perhaps up in the San Gabriel mountains? Lots of desert out here so I can imagine I won't have to travel too far.

    Who does Bolt Knobs for CZ's?!!!

    The work you guys are doing is outstanding. Why couldn't CZ just thread the bolt handle rather then using a handle that looks like it came off a .22? Any chance someone can mod my bolt handle for me? It's off a brand new .17 Lilja barreled 455 Tacticool
