Internals of 25Rem barrel

[Phyrbird]

Finally managed to take the 25Rem barrel assy apart, the internals are dramatically different (and nasty ) than others I have seen. Will post a few pics and when time allows some dimensions of the buffer and recoil spring. The recoil spring case looks the same as the 30-32 Rem type for now. The buffer is really small and has a lot more coils with a lot less total compressed height.

The recoil spring is made of thinner wire, and the buffer spring is quite soft. In fact you can mash it shut between your thumb and fore finger. Can't do that with the others.

10-4 on that, have developed some back pains. It's slowing me down too much. TTTHHPPPHHHHTRTT
