MK2 Rapid barrel wedges set.

[Dr Fox]

Is anyone able to help? Have a need at his moment in time to renew the wedges in my FAC rifle. Dr Bob cant help until the end of the month. Has anyone got a set on sell, or lend to be replaced later.

I am sure you can find someone with a Lathe and Mill.
EZ to make, depending the Material used!
The Titanium ones I made was bit of challenge..
Tapping the threads for the bolt..
But it all ended well.

surprised that you need to replace the the clamps, are you sure that they haven't been over tightened and the block is now loose?

Last lever block here runs 3 grub screws to hold it down. 
Block a real fit on barrels going in.
So there not working to much.

Let me give you the full picture. Life was sweet Full FAC performance, new life added with the Zulus V2 fitted until! My single shot loader refused to fit, it had always done before? A new multi shot aftermarket mag arrived, that would not fit either. Had the barrel moved?
In hindsight no cant happen! But at the time what's going on? So off barrel and it was noticed the locks had wear ridges, so replace. The refit advice was, Magazine piece of paper behind, slide barrel back to touch then lock up. Wrong!! Accuracy suffered extreme spread doubled. There is only one place this barrel can lock up, and thats after the locating grub screw is in its full position. any deviation from this causes the valve port and barrel port to misalign. After achieving this, Magazines from 3 different makers fit perfectly, and harmony is restored 32.4 ft lbs, extreme spread 8 fps. If the mag is too tight to enter loading port, then its odds on its not the rifle at fault.
