More from the kiwi gun "cut n tuck" files : make the gun fit u Shaun ! Is the bloody thing ( the shoe ) in the right place relative to where your trigger fingers "natural resting place" is ? Crikey mate ......

Just cut the current one off and tig weld a piece of whatever onto it. Call me a butcher but that's what I do.

I think most authors require some filtering, due to their personal prejudices which may have started early and not been re-examined, we’re all guilty of it to some degree :oops: I believe Nathan to be ridgy didge in his field but remember he is hunting, not shooting long strings, 3 shot groups only...

Cheers lads for the Hambly-Clark book mention, sounds good, just ordered it from Amazon. And being an Aussie he will be all over it haha.

Tell me this please : is there a solvent on the planet that will get under that "ceramic carbon layer" and make it let go so I don't need to cut it away with abrasives ?

I would be reckoning for the reasons u describe Alan it would/could help lots but I suspect with many other ‘normal’ barrels it won’t provide any gains and will instead introduce other potentially detrimental variables and dynamics. A barrel that for whatever reason wants to foul more than is desira...

that is true, but the rear should not be used as such. bruce. Bruce, I have a Hall action that came without a recoil lug so I called Allan Hall in USA (a Benchrest shooter), he was adamant that the rear tang was to be used for recoil. The tang was very thick. I had a pinned recoil lug fitted becaus...

Just buy an F Class rifle ?

Miles off topic Keith but Alan waves his big stick much less now when that happens haha.

A SFP scope set at its higher magnifications with very fine reticle lines is a handicap in tough conditions ! Been there done that, wouldn't touch one again. Think about it : how many of us have a gun so accurate that we will gain from the extra aiming precision we can have by using a reticle that o...

Just a little more learning for ya Kianga1971 : I recrowned my FO gun the other day due to a ‘mishap’ that buggered it and it would NOT shoot when I took it to the range last nite. This was after recrowning it, and after a very anal lathe setup. It had gone from a ¼ minute gun to a ½ minute. Re crow...

Might be best to state what your barrel profile is John ? You realize too that people will likely tell u thier one is best, when it's probably hard to prove what the best one is ?

My reference to Unobtanium is to a damping substance that actually damps before the bullet has left the barrel ! Plenty of things that damp - but do any of them actually work the way people think they do. ? Damping means absorbing the energy present in a vibrating barrel. It can reduce the amplitud...

Hi damping materials = hidamets.

Pure Mg in bar stock is easily bought.

One things for sure : them Finns clearly know guns because the budget T3 works, hence huge success.
