    Dusty, your experience apparently isn't unusual. For some reason, there appears to be more variance in 38-55 bore than in other calibers. Not only is it true on modern rifles, but my readings show...

    I had one for several years, in 22 LR (Birmingham). The lack of a safety always bothered me, sold it at a decent profit.
