    Gunsmithing PGM Intervention barrel design

    Re: PGM Intervention barrel design Thanks for the answers, guys. Not what I expected, which makes it even more interesting, of course. But as said, not something I could/would use.

    Gunsmithing PGM Intervention barrel design

    The PGM Ultima Ratio "Intervention" barrel as an interesting design but I can find little about the implications on gunsmithing & accuracy. Accuracy, as with all PGM rifles, is pretty great, so with this design it is very much possible to accurize the barrel and minimize 'bad' vibrations...
