hi all heres what i got i got this carbine many years ago and only fired it once which resulted in a ballooned case i thought someone had reamed it for something else i finally sent it to a gunsmith familiar with them and was informed that the liner put in during the conversion was missing a new liner was made to fit starline brass..... i reassembled and ordered brass and had to full size before they fit ok i slugged the bore and decided to use the lyman .512 mold however in order to seat boolits i had to expand now the boolits dont fit or stick...........they go in halfway and start to stick i can fully seat them but have to tap out with a ramrod....thanks all
