    Cleaning High Performance Rifle Barrels - Video

    Ask Mark here (shoots mostly short range BR and I got him into F class as well) and Mark currently holds two or three world records in BR. He will tell you... he cleaned one of our barrels (prior to him working here) following Tony Boyers procedure for cleaning with Iosso. Mark wrecked the...

    Cleaning High Performance Rifle Barrels - Video

    You wouldn't believe how fast a shooter can wreck a barrel from cleaning. I've seen it where a shooter only cleaned the barrel as little as two times. Also picture a shooter where he's only shot a 110 rounds on the barrel... cleaned it and took a full .001" out of the bore. Not only does he...

    U.S. Restoration on M-40 Receiver

    They built mine also... got another one in the works for a build but will be on a 40x receiver that is factory clip slotted. Waiting for the barrel to be done around July sometime. Yes I/we wait for our barrels here as well. Later, Frank Bartlein Barrels

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    Here are some pic's out of the Brophy book on the 1903 Springfields. I didn't go back and reread the whole chapter on the International and type T target rifles but in the first pic... the barrel length mentioned is only 24" but there are pic's and dimensions listed for 26", 30" etc.. I think...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    One of my customer/buddies and retired SS shoots 6CM on his PRS guns. He gets about 2500 on his. He takes care of it... but he uses it also. He's had I think 3 in a row now and all ended around 2500. Prior to the BB material he was pulling them at about 1200-1400 rounds. I think 1400 was a stretch.

    Muzzle velocity difference between manufacturers

    Your leaving out too much information that the average shooter will never know or can measure to even know what is really going on. Can and does barrel length effect velocity? Yes. Caliber/chamber can have a impact on this as well. A 308win chamber barrel will have a less of an effect vs barrel...

    Gunsmithing Which kind of crown do you like and why?

    The problem with that really deep counterbore crowned that you show. Is how do you make sure you break the edge of the bore without leaving a burr? If you leave a burr the first bullet or so down the bore will break the edge away and leave a jagged edge at the bore and accuracy typically sucks...

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    Without better pictures my guess is that it is a 1903 T target rifle. They did make them in different barrel lengths. I would have to look in my Springfield book by Brophy. I've never seen one shorter than 26" but it's possible. The breech end of the barrel is like 1.3" diameter. Pretty close to...

    Dude awesome shooting! Not to burst your bubble but we haven't used Crucible steel since late 2009. You can thank Obama for that!

    M1917 vs M1903

    Sorry but the best I can do for you right now. Barrel is finished at 22" or 23". Can't remember which. I bought the stock unfinished (rough inletted) off of Ebay for a $100. Alex Sitman at Master Class stocks did the final inlet, semi sanded it and bedded it for me. I'm doing the finish stock...

    How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

    ^^^^^ What he said! Not just scope but shoot service rifle competition with open sights. You always know where your base / mechanical zero is. So if for some reason and it doesn't matter if it's conditions or you just got lost in your adjustments and regardless of the distance. You can always...

    M1917 vs M1903

    I like both but for different reasons. More 1917 Enfields where produced during the WW1 time frame than 03's. So more Enfields seen service in US troops hands than 03's. Yes the Enfield was a stop gap measure to supplement demand for WW1 rifles for our troops and Springfield and Rock Island...
