As far as I know the action has never seen a fire. The rifle is in pristine condition and appears to be a European maker although there is no name on the rifle. The 219 DW cartridge only makes 40,000CUPs of pressure so it's not a high pressure case. There is zero evidence of any set back or wear at the lugs and the action is like glass. Douglas did the Rockwell testing and I assume they have a clue what they were doing. Their note when it came back was that the action was soft, very soft and not even close to being acceptable. Up until I decided to do this, there was no sign of any issues with rifle. Brass can almost be reloaded without resizing, it is a rimmed cartridge. I would just like to get it rebarreled and be able to shoot it like it deserves.
