Yea verily, I didst order a new barrel for my CETME C, and upon arrival, I didst utter profanities great and profound because apparently I amst incapable of reading the spec sheet for said barrel indicating it wast threaded 5/8-24 rather than M15x1.0.
But the price set upon the barrel was "really good," and rather than grouse about the situation, I didst set upon a plan involving raw steel and machine tools. Many chips have flown asunder, and much cutting fluid was consumed.
All is complete, but for threads of five-eights diameter and 24 pitch. Progress today constitutes a good stopping point, an appropriate thread-cutting appliance has been ordered, and a fermented malt beverage beckons.
