[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1122406, member: 90399"] I have found that if I am willing to put in the effort, most of the time I can get fairly exceptional accuracy from factory barrels. What I don't particularly enjoy is waiting a couple minutes between shots. Because if the barrels heat up at all, my shots start stringing all over the place. From what I've researched this is usually caused by 2 things. 1) The factory barrels are thin so the heat affects them more. 2) The factory barrels are not manufactured with the same tolerances as a nice custom barrel so sometimes the hole is not 100% centered in the barrel. So that also causes issues when the barrels heats up. You guys with custom barrels, how many shots can you usually fire before you see a difference in accuracy? How long do you typically wait between shots? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
