Smile sounds good to me

my m38 has timmney trigger floated barrel synthetic stock thats had steel pilars made for the action screws,a wolf heavy main spring (that i'll take out)and timmney low saftey.it used to shoot
1 moa before i had the barrel floated pilars and mainspring, saftey, and trigger added that was all done at once.i have allways had a 2-7x32 leupold scope in one piece mounts.i have shot it for a while i have been busy and won't shoot it for at leased a month or so.but iam taking out the mainspring next time
and putting the old one in...i would love one of those m38 barrels
or maybe 2 if you would part with them,although theres a bit of paper work involved from both ends??? i rang my local gunshop this afternoon he said i can do it but its a bit of stuffing around??
i'll speak to him again tomorrow. the last load i was using was
39 gn of AR 2208 with a tipan 120 gn or rem 120 core lokt
@2735fps on my crony.AR 2208 is similar to imr 4064. but i found
the core lokt bullets just pass right through like a fmj even at very close range 30-40 yards.(thats on goats and pigs) they all
fell very dead though on the spot kills.most ammo thats loaded comes in 140gn(factory)i think there to heavy for our medium game.my friends only shoot factory ammo cause they have read about the m96/38 action being weak and think my reloads sounds
to sharp ,by what you said earlyer they seem very mild..ok thanks again mate and would love those barrels cya.
