[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1378029, member: 30902"] I don't doubt it, wildcatters are just a different breed. These guys were kinda nuts and would try just about anything and one of them was an excellent gunsmith and gunbuilder. Both were rabid deer and coyote hunters who hunted mostly wide open very flat wheatfields and were always looking for something faster and flatter than their other buddies for that purpose. With one of them running a very nice gunshop and the other being a smith/builder and both doing quite well barrel life was never a consideration. They expected to burn them out relatively quickly and would always leave enough shank on a barrel to set it back a couple of times as well. [/QUOTE]
