Wow,well done Dave.I couldn't do that.If I ever tried,someone would get a good deal on a barrel,lock and some hardware because the stock would get snapped about one day into it.

Ha ha ha!!.....When I decided to do this, I kept a mindset of..."It's going to take time......don't set a must finish deadline." I did just that. All the hot weather and rain we had this summer kept me indoors in my "climate controlled" (aka....air conditioned) garage. Accordingly, I got it done much earlier that I thought I would. |

I went down to the range this am to shoot the new flinter. It was very hot 'n humid so I stayed less than an hour. But, I got these 5 shots on the target at 50 yards! I didn't touch my sights at all. I took the last target shot off-hand....and yes....it is the closest to the bulls-eye. (No Bull!) I took two shots at the clubs 100 yard metal hangers and rang 'em both times!! The load was 80gr FFF Goex. I can likely get the group closer via trying different loads....but it's to hot for that today!!  |

Yeah.....it's MOD for sure and as REM700 said....not to bad for the first crack outta the gate. I recovered 3 patches and they were fine.....not burnt thru or torn.
I know that new barrels need a good 50 to 100 shots down the tube before the machine edges get round. I know these Green Mt. barrels are of good quality. The one on my .50 Cal T\C can shoot very well.
