Agreed. Like I said, I had not heard that theory before but I think it is possible, it may be a long shot, but plausible. I will try and recover some of the rounds but don't hold your breath. The ones I have fond in the past were pretty mangled. If the other theory I am testing doesn't pan...

That is rather interesting and a theory I have not heard about yet. I do think that 1 or 2 thousandths is probably a bit much though, but I could see that in ten thousandths. I will try to check that out. The reason I doubt its thousandths is, wouldn't that much change cause other serious...

Also, turkn8r1, you mentioned threaded brakes in your post. Well, I wanted that however, I could not get them threaded at the time. At some point I will try to get them threaded but right now its not really an option. I think I've mentioned this already but thanks to the posts here and on...

The rifle barrels are custom made, not factory. The Axis has a Mcgowen 1:10 and the AR has a White Oak Armament 1:8. Garycrow, you didn't miss it before, I left them out intentionally. As for the cryo treatment, I understand it is a controversial topic. However, I think that the science behind...

Well crap. I had a nice thought out response to Sully2 and Garycrow and then my browser crashed and I lost it. I will have to come back and rewrite it later.

As far as I understand it, you are correct about the effects of cryo. My hypothesis about increased break in time is for the increased barrel life. My theory being, if the barrel lasts longer, then break in could also take longer. What I really need to do is get matching barrels, cryo one...

Dosh: You and I are in the same boat. As mentioned that is what I do regret. That said, the company I used has been absolutely incredible. They regularly call me to see what I think about their work. Unfortunately, I have not been able to say anything, positive or negative. I do plan on getting...

That very idea was brought up in another forum. To answer, I can't really say for certain, I will be testing out a couple theories related to what you just said.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I think it helps in several ways, better heat rejection and increased strength are a couple of them. The only thing I am really regretting at the moment is that I did not benchmark the barrels accuracy before cryoing. However, I have some other rifles that I am...

Ohiohunter: Hey, as I was reading your post I had a similar thought as Senderofan. I'm attaching a link to a scope that I will eventually own but I think may work well for you. I have no first hand experience with these scopes but I think they look promising. Tactical 8-80 x 56 I am...

Just FYI, I'm posting this is several forums. So this is copy past and if you might find this on other sites. That said though, based on what I saw when scanning this forum and what I've read on this site over the years, I think you guys will be my biggest help. Alright, after what is...

I know this post is pretty old now but since I came across it I wanted to post. I have 4 Witt Machine clamp on brakes and I love them. Two are on AR-15 .223's, one is a .308, and the last one is a .30-06.
