No. Its a fixed barrel. Thats the expansion chamber for that 2 stage silencer. Its filled with shoelace eyelets.

Nice work! Look forward to seeing it lugging through some lead!

Now the challenge is finding the heavy bolt! I want to say there was a time when you could easily get a brass bolt, not too sure about that anymore. The 45 and the heavy bolt were so much fun. Such a manageable cyclic rate!

Steel or aluminum eyelets?

Aluminum. Sounds but but in that application they're basically Raschig rings
