Hiram Maxim thinks your chamber fans are stupid.
There is no proof you are able to hit anywhere near temps that could add to damage of the barrel.

Interesting concept. I wonder how a modern water jacket would work on a modern barrel.There is no proof you are able to hit anywhere near temps that could add to damage of the barrel.

Would not even have to have a circulation or condensing can, just enough fins to carry heat. And maybe no fins at all if it were made of brass like the one above or good aluminum alloy. Both conduct heat extremely well to air. Could be attached with O-rings and crush fittings — packing joint.
Probably do some interesting things for harmonic damping. Not to mention extra weight for recoil absorption. Interesting concept right there.
Has anyone tried such a thing on a modern precision rifle? And what has been the result?

Human Oxymoron - Invented the MG so as to bring Peace.
Biggest underestimate of human nature ever.
At least Oppenhiemer was aware of what he was doing.
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and smokeless powder, peace prize is named after him. Go figure.
Dr. Gatling did the same thing.
Although I dare say Hiram Maxim knew what he was doing. He was in Europe because after his patents for electricity got bought out he was banished to Europe so that he did not compete with Westinghouse and or general electric and or Edison. While he was there working on electrical things, he was approached by another American expat businessman who said that if he wanted to make real money, he would invent something to “let these infernal Europeans kill each other more efficiently. “. This, he invented the maxim gun. And his son invented the first effective silencer.
The nature of the Utopian do-gooder is always the same... and the results are universally death and suffering.
Even many on the Manhattan project believed that they were bringing peace. Most notable among them was Teller, the main advocate and key inventor inventor of the hydrogen bomb.

Nobel created the peace prize himself after reading his own obituary which was incorrectly printed when they thought he had died. His obituary called him the greatest merchant of death in history. And it rattled him so badly that he decided to put his fortune towards a peace prize and other prizes in the fields of medicine science literature etc.
If I recall correctly he also invented dynamite to save lives. Because pure nitroglycerin in liquid form was so unstable that it was killing thousands of miners and tunnelers and other people. By mixing it in with clay call diatomatic (sp?) earth he created a stable form that could only be set off with blasting caps.
Lots of great inventions to save people turn out to be big big killers.

Diatomaceous. That’s for you, Veer G.
The opposite of why this thread was created, has me looking at fans. However, i need one that doesn’t have a high pitch whine. Shit drives me mad. I dont wear ear pro unless at a match or public range, so need a decent one.
So I've been using my urine to cool the barrel and chamber. Is this frowned upon? Would a chamber fan be more efficient?
The quietest i have ,i made out of a BBQ fan and some transparent tubing and a lathe turned sort of a bore guide
Ulfhednar is made like that, and s silent compared to Magnetospeed ,
Chamber chiller moves most air but is let down by cheap bearings on chinese fans , you could make it much quieter by going for quality fan ,made couple myself but never bothered to source good fans.

Surprised you didn't correct his usage of 'only' in the last sentence. Veer is shaking his head.
I used a couple of fittings from the plumbing aisle and soft surgical tubing and just stuff it in the chamber.
Sounds like me it's kind of like being retired now. I work for free being retired now more than I ever did sitting at my desk at work. I have to go on a vacation now to get away from retirement.I'm sure it all depends on your schedule and how much time you have on the range. I'm always trying to fit ten pounds of shit into a five pound shit-bag, so sitting and waiting for the barrel to get cool is a drag.
But it's a dry heat they say.

Wait until you get old like me...I don't heal well anymore either...I ain’t EVER startin’ nohere at the Hide.
I don’t heal very well anymore
Indeed. I read and listen to books while I am waiting on my barrel to cool some. Hell, I watched some Big Bang Theory re-runs last weekend
In my defense, I was typing on a goddamned Ghey-a$$ed Iphone... which I only have because my accountant won't let me have a Droid any more.
Ghey-A$$ed iPhones never print or VTT proper gun-related stuff. I am sure their Dick-Sucking vernacular is spot on, though.

...which I
That's what you get for using apple.
Thankfully, my wife is lo-tech so I choose electronics.

If you don’t wear ear pro cause you have a silencer joke is on you and you can join the rest of us with 24/7 ringing in the ears
That might fund retirementI still have a 30# can of R-12. Can I use that?
Well is been about 2 years.
You queers still using fans in chambers or did that go out of fashion with the mil dot master?

This topic is as gay as the co witness iron sight thread with everyone talking about their red dots going down while doing combat rolls to the front door of Publix.
Yeah, that’s a run on sentence. Fight me.
Mayo on the red dot is definitely a concern.
Well first off….I was making gay topics fun way before red dots got in the mix.
“Combat roller” prob has a chamber fan in his keester.
No way I’m fighting a person who shops at Publix, been there once, it was the museum of the ugliest people ive ever seen in my life.
The best use of a chamber fan is to annoy the others in your squad sufficiently that they start dropping points…
I thought they were used as alternative to Grindr when the internet went down?
If it's a holosun fanboi- that's not mayo.
