My 1968 40 XBR 222 has a 14 twist. I’m pretty sure that was most common when the 222 was winning matches in the 1950’s-60’s.

dmort,

That 1911 must’ve been from WWI, sounds like quite a set. My problem is I’ve sold or traded very few of the firearms I acquired. I use to be a handgun guy, built, tuned and shot the...

Being interested in your rifle I did some googlin. I found Timkin steel was used in Douglas barrels and there was a Dr. Rod Janson who was involved in the early days of Benchrest shooting when those...

Very cool rifle. I have a 1960’s 25 lb Taylor and Robbins 219 Wasp bench rifle. The big guns were known as unlimited bag guns, I believe they shot against rail guns.

The Wasp is a great...

I’ve barreled 4 Savages with Shilen prefits. I used an action vise held in a bench vise, barrel nut wrench turned with a torque wrench, go gauge and with cellophane tape to make a no-go gauge. Yep,...

Tony Boyer puts the fuzzy side of stick-on Velcro on his stop. I read his book, …. I put the Velcro on my stops, maybe more consistent bump in. It didn’t hurt.

In that 1986 edition Seely Masker describes the method he uses to break-in a barrel.
