Lets see your barrel coolers

60V cordless barrel cooler!!

Unfortunately I can't take credit for this idea, but it works well!!

How much are you shooting from a bolt action that heats your barrel so much? Or is that the nature of bolts? Still new and haven't gotten a chance to take my new toys out yet.

I hate these things. The whine is obnoxious and most of the guys use them at the range I go to spend more time bitching than anything else.

The 60V upgrade makes some noise too!!

So @isofahunter stole his idea too

Chamber chiller. Flows more air, 10 times more quite, cheaper than the Riflecool. and if you get the battery pack option it lasts longer too.

toss that stupid rifle kool in the trash. things useless.

Urinating in the waterjacket
When water got low in the waterjacket, it was important to top it up and a funnel was carried for this purpose. If the water was allowed to get too low, the gun would overheat and seize. It was important to keep the water levels high and it is talked of that soldiers would urinate into the gun so it would keep going. There is evidence that urine was used. This quote is attributed to the 100th MG Company in August, 1916.

During the attack of the 24th, 250 rounds short of one million were fired by ten guns: at least four petrol tins of water besides all the water bottles of the Company and the urine tins from the neighbourhood were emptied into the guns for cooling purposes.

Goldsmith (1994) cites an interview with a veteran, Corporal John Young, 12th MG Company who states:

Often, in a pinch, when water was short we were forced to fil the barrel jacket with urine – it helped make the war a bit more personal.

Myth: TRUE

I may have to try that Chamber chiller.
I all ready have battery packs to use with it.
I need something for my 10/22 integral so I don't have to wait so long at the range for the barrel to cool enough so that I am not worried about melting the case.

whatever brand of cordless drill you own, just buy one of their cordless fans and use it to blow across your barrel.
