    Cold bbl or clean bore with 1st shot accuracy?

    Re: Cold bbl or clean bore with 1st shot accuracy? [ That is just stupid. Like I said, that was the BEST one. They don't all look like that. However, I would like like to have a good rifle shooter shoot this gun for groups to see what it can really do.

    Re: Cold bbl or clean bore with 1st shot accuracy? Makes me think I should stop cleaning the bore. Seems the more I shoot, the better the groups get.

    Cold bbl or clean bore with 1st shot accuracy?

    My 1st 3 shots on a cold, clean bore are high and left. My 4th shot settles in the X ring and the 50th shot is the same. My questions is which is it, the fact that the barrel is cold or I'm shooting a clean bore that is the cause. I'm not an anal barrel cleaner. I use Hoppes on a brush , 3-5...

    Gunsmithing What's involved in an AR barrel change?

    Re: What's involved in an AR barrel change? A torque wrench isn't always necessary. There is a wide torque range at 32-80 ftlbs. Generally, you'll tighten the barrel nut by hand until it stops, then use your barrel wrench to tighten until the next hole in the nut lines up with the gas tube...

    Gunsmithing cut barrel or trade?

    Re: cut barrel or trade? Had the 26" barrel on my 700 VLS cut and crowned at 22" with no regrets for $50.00. You'll get the length you want and a profesionally cut target crown, which you won't get on a new gun.
