Lovely to get the matched set where you can see how the idea was developed and explored

Thank you Ken,
Indeed turn off barrels are very ofen hard to unscrew; either because they get stuck with rust or as a result of chamber swelling due to frequent shooting.
In my collecting course, i guess i found more of such barrels stuck than operational.
As these are not for shooting, i am happy that their barrels still turn with ease and specially now that their turning solution was revealed.
