There's a guy that lives nearby that knows his way around them, he will cut and thread the barrel for me.

The rifle has an Imbel receiver, which is a good thing. Something that I really like about is that it has a metric receiver, but has a few features normally associated with inch cut receivers. Such as a folding charging handle, large mag release, extended safety, and sand cut bolt. The good things are offset by the low quality stock set and muzzle brake. The price i paid was a fair price, but no steal.

Lazi, I think if I were in your shoes I'd be finding the guitar a new home too.
