    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I did the final assembly of my upper with DDF barrel over my lunch break today. Man, that gas block pin is a pita. I have two 11.5" SS Noveske barrels that I've changed uppers and handguards on and neither was as bad as this one. I probably won't get to shoot it until Monday. If all goes well...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I concede 30 rounds is somewhat of an extreme case. Normally there would be 12-17 targets at the gas gun matches I shoot, so maybe 20-25 rounds would be a more realistic expectation, also depending if it's limited rounds or unlimited. But the answer to both of your questions would be, yes for...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I guess I should have done more research on my intended use before 'pulling the trigger' on the DDF. :confused:

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Is anybody seeing POI shift from heat sooner with these DDF barrels? Mine will be used in gas gun matches where 20-30 round strings wouldn't be uncommon. I haven't even built my upper yet but I'm wondering if the DDF at 34oz is any better than a Douglas, WOA, or similar at 38-40oz.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Pretty crazy how deep these flutes actually are. And the bore looks amazing through the bore scope. Just a few more parts to come in.

    Ballistic Subject Matter Expert needed

    I'm not reading all of this but it reminds me of something I had 30 years ago when I was in middle school and getting into coyote hunting. Leupold used to have (maybe they still do) a magnetic 'boresighter' that would attached to the end of the barrel and sit high enough to be viewed in the...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Interesting thread, thanks. I have a new Noveske DDF barrel and I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to break it in, if anything. Maybe just 200 rounds and clean it. IDK yet.

    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    Maybe I’ll transfer a pound or so to a mesh bag and hang it in the cabinet for a few days at temp and RH to equalize throughout the powder column’.

    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    I’ve been considering a temperature and humidity controlled cabinet, looks like a mini fridge and people use them for photography equipment storage and/or 3D printing filament storage. Probably wouldn’t store all of my powders in it, I usually have 6 to 8 8# jugs at any given time, but would...

    Any new thoughts or reviews on these barrels? My 18" DDF 5.56 should be delivered next week.

    Griffin Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG

    I bought the enhanced gas pocket carrier and put it in my 18" KAC LPR Mod 2 5.56 with the KAC E3 bolt, along with the SNACH Gen 2 charging handle. It has an OCL OCM5 suppressor. I immediately noticed quieter port pop and a lot less gas to the face, and I mean ALOT less gas. The latter either...

    AB Elite devices are not synchronizing

    I was having similar intermittent and weird connection issues with my Kestrel 5700 Elite a few years ago. After troubleshooting online and over the phone with Kestrel support, they had me send it in and they determined the Bluetooth was defective. Then they wanted me to pay full price for a new...

    Gunsmithing Tubb's final finish lapping bullets; lets hear it.

    Borescope came in and the Centurion MK12 barrel was definitely rough just past the chamber. And I wasn’t too impressed with the gas port either. I have maybe 600 rounds on it. My KAC LPR with Krieger has some fire cracking which is to be expected given the >6k round count, but down the barrel...
