Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

Re: Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

Working on a build...looks, oh and post the weight it you could...there is probably already a thread, but I couldn't find one..
 
Re: Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

I was hopeful when i saw this thread that i'd find pics.

That Krieger link doesn't help a whole hell of alot, because it doesn't show what it looks like on a rifle. I understand many people have gotten it to a art form knowing barrel dimensions, but i dont. I was always one of those kids that requires a picture to figure shit out.

Kinda like the hand dryers in bathrooms. Im always disappointed when bacon doesnt come out

Re: Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

just went through this with the 18" 308 barrel I just ordered. Took me 2 weeks to decide what contour, and what the diameter would be at the muzzle. Finally decided on a bull for my savage build, which came out to 1" at muzzle at 18". Check out the picture threads and sift through them. Time consuming, but gets results. I finally came across two pics of rifles that helped me decide, but took me two weeks of looking for them.
Any certain contour or length combination you are looking for?
 
Re: Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

Whilst on the topic of barrels, i was curious to know if there is such a thing as a barrel with a built-in moderator rather than the standard attachement. Does such a feature exist ?

For 22LR based rounds you can get integrally suppressed barrels. I do not believe they have anything such as that for centerfire.

When it comes to barrel contours, I think you will be hard pressed to find a better combination of rigidity to weight than that of a medium palma contour. That is very close to what came on my TRG and the accuracy is phenomenal. I can understand huge barrels for benchrest and thin barrels for a light weight hunting rifle. However, as far as tactical rifles are concerned, I think the medium palma is the way to go.

I ordered one in May and am still waiting, but I ordered just an upper as a new build, and now waiting on the bs forms. Pretty excited. will do a review on here once I get it in. This guy will put one on anything looks like...
 
Re: Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

Thanks again! Skyking what does yours way? I like that alot!

Niles that is bad ass, but I'm afraid at 26" it may be a heavy beast, you think? I guess that's with the scope though, correct?

Sloth that's my other choice!

Yes, that includes the 2 pound NF, a 26" would be more than I would want to carry around.
 
Re: Barrel Contour Pics? Can you guys post them?

Basra, I like the top! What does it weight? Is that a HTG stock or what? I was thinking A-5 or HS precision's take off with a paint job...I think the HS would be way better to carry.

KPK - It is the McM ADJ HTG with an added foreend rail and flush cups.

I've never weighed it (wife won't have bathroom scales in the house
wink.gif
)....but I'd say around 14to 15lb all up - it is certainly lighter and more "portable" than my AW!!

From memory the barrel weighs about 7 or 8lb

The basic rifle is the standard GAP M40A1 build with a couple of small tweaks

Poorboy, who did the break for you? Possibly from Silex?

And do you by chance shoot out at benchrest?
