So I decided to build a comp gun for three gun matches this summer. So I figure the heart and soul of a rifle is the barrel. Well I've had real good luck with benchmark barrels- hey I know instead of buying a barrel, I'll just order a blank and contour my own. Great fucking plan!........
Let's just say the next gun will get a factory profiled barrel because that is a level of fucking around that does not interest me much
So I started wit a 1.25" 1-9 benchmark blank
I then proceeded to cut
And cut
And cut some more
So after I made a shit pile of chips, discovered that all my tooling had too big of radius and chattered like a mother fucker I got to spend about an hour and a half polishing.......
Hopefully by the time I get some duracoat on there it will look alright.
Oh and it's 18", rifle gas, SPR contour.
