    Do black barrels cool faster?

    Re: Do black barrels cool faster? Lots of vartiables here. Breeze/no breeze. Airspace around the barrel in the stock or no airspace. Daytime sunlight/night time dark. Wish there was a good clear answer. Barrels get hot here in South Texas.

    Do black barrels cool faster?

    Re: Do black barrels cool faster? Good questions. I have not heard of any rigorous tests. One can try touching the top of different color cars in a parking lot on a sunny day. A car has to be pretty close to white to not be warm/hot to the touch. I understand that heat gain and heat loss...

    barrel expansion

    Re: barrel expansion If the bore expands with rounds, it might make for less friction? Thus more velocity? Or, the heat of the entire cannon might heat the powder prior to ignition, making for more pressure?

    Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...

    Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD... 308 can be built on the long remington action. I understand the M24 is so constructed. If the subject rifle has an overall length of 39 5/8 inch for a 20 inch barrel as claimed at the above link, it would be on the short action. Does anyone else find...

    Mauser action rifle identification

    Re: Mauser action rifle identification Is the bolt stiff on closing with no cartridge in the chamber? If so, it is probably cocking the striker on closing. If so, it is probably one of the pre 1898 designs, even if it was produced after 1898. The model 98 cocked the striker on opening the...

    Best barrel length for .260

    Re: Best barrel length for .260 Everyone's entitled to their opinion. For me, the 308 happy medium is closer to 22-24 than 18". More tube length for acceleration, with less muzzle flash and blast. I understand the Savage "short action" is actually not that short, and can take a 30-06...

    Best barrel length for .260

    Re: Best barrel length for .260 One can get some interesting numbers by setting up a spreadsheet to list barrels by bore and then by length and then find the length to bore ratio of each combination of barrel. In the Navy, the length to bore ratio was called the caliber. A three inch fifty...

    rem 700 serial # ?

    Re: rem 700 serial # ? My 700, serial # A6662xxx, produced in 1979, purchased in 1980, has the bolt lock safety. With the safety on "S", the bolt can not be operated. I understand that there may have been a program whereby Remington modified the "bolt safety" rifles so that the bolt could...

    rem 700 serial # ?

    Re: rem 700 serial # ? Call Remington at 1-800-243-9700 with the number. My "A" prefixed 700 was produced in 1979. Yours will be before that. An "S" prefixed 700 I've seen was produced this year.
