[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 785638, member: 25383"] A basic hunting barrel (not a heavy varmit barrel) can be made to work well with a tuner. Problem is that with some of the big calibers a lot of guys are going for the chore my end up be moote. I've never done a centerfire tuner, but they are similar to the others. Someday I'd like to try one on a 22 centerfire or a 6mm cailber as they should work well. Muzzel brakes are not tuners, and often create other problems. Tuner designs and a couple other items that go along with them are closely guarded pieces of black art. Knowing what I know about them thru past experience, I would recommend having the barrel threaded and then lapped in afterwards. Never take a finished blank and expect fantastic results. Maybe yes, but also maybe not. I would first buy the tuner, and then send it to the barrel manufacturer to have it fitted when he cuts the contour. Trust me this is the sane way to do it! gary [/QUOTE]
