    Criterion CORE series barrels

    Let me put it this way since I've know frank for years.. Frank, if I were to button or foge a barrel and stamp that twist on the back end, would my twist be faster or slower than the stamp I laid down. or would it be not uniform or gain/loss, as I stamped it. No doubt some might round up or...

    John, I see a lot of white paper. There's a lot of outside the box out there. Gotta keep an open mind to new tech. NO doubt. So knowing that I see crazy hypothetical ideas on a daily, it still doesn't make enough sense to me to latch on to to even test. that's not to say anything that I'd...

    Probably not your best moment. Chad doesn't need my mention, he's on the right path. You mention 1 gunsmith and not a lot of customers. Might brag a little more when you have some more gunsmiths and customers. Until then, we in this precision realm will wait, unabated, and salivating at the...

    Engravings have definitely changed/improved over the years..But the LPR has been a 223 Wylde for as long as I've been here. Every other 15/16 is a derivative which falls under the 556 x 45 spec umbrella.. Later

    How were '03 and Garand barrels rifled?

    I'd have to check on that, but venture he was. Atkinson was part of the A&M barrels back in the day, who were in the forms of the Sukalles and Popes, and the other read about greats. I have personally cut rifled 17-4, 15-5, stellite (cobalt chromium), Stavax, H series, leaded and unleaded...
