I guess the old Mach IV is almost forgotten in light of the newer Remington ots cases, but I still like it because of its history.

Casting a chamber is kinda like tapering a barrel on a manual lathe, I will do it, but not too great in wanna do's sorta speak.

I have not pulled the stock/barrel apart yet to see if marking is under the wood, but doubt it, it is a wildcat I reckon. Pulling the barrel is a flip of the wrist really once you get tooling and used to it.

I thought about using test gages from an old set I bought years ago, once the barrel was off to see the neck size in general. Even thought about a thin necked forming load and then measure, but still to find out I guess.

Just a query out of the blue, will get it figured out once the barrel is off this week. Most questions to vendors about dimensional information is proprietary info, never had any luck there.
