What you left out--and what neither I nor anyone else can "see", since it IS NOT THERE--is just who, in blue blazes, refers to the sleeving process as monoblocking?
Larry, you have just totally confirmed my suspicions that while you may be a decent writer you can't read at all. Obviously if you believe your last statement you don't read many posts right here on the forum for it is becoming a far more common expression, to speak of "Monoblocking" an old set of bbls.
Also obvious, if one can read & understand what they read, I was not refering to newly made barrels. I am quire familiar with what momoblock construction is. It was first used by Henri Pieper, though he simply called it his "Solid Steel Breech Piece", Note the word Solid, it was made of one piece (Mono = 1). Inso far as I know Berreta possibly coined the term monoblock, but the meaning was still the same. It did not refer to the joint in the bbls, but to the construction of the breech portion itself. Chopping off a set of bbls does not in any way alter their breech construction. If they were not originally built as a monoblock or a chopper lump or whatever they do noy magically transform into some other method of construction, they have simply been re-tubed.
So "YES" Larry, I highly suspect virtually everyone who read my post knew exactly what I was speaking of except you.
Was there anyone else Who didn't???
Seems everyone else who responded did.
