[QUOTE="Calamity, post: 1861403, member: 112048"] I would like to add to my earlier comment on barrel metallurgy. There is also a pretty broad opportunity for experimentation with barrel liners. This would apply to all types of firearms. A replaceable rifled liner of Inconel 625 in a chrome-moly or stainless barrel shell would allow shooters to have several liners, and change rifling pitch (even calibers) in a few minutes to accommodate different loads/hunting conditions/game, etc. It would also allow competition target shooters to experiment with tensioned barrel liners, which have shown dramatic effects on accuracy by tuning barrel harmonics. It also opens up possibilities for light weight barrel shell alloys, internal grooving to lessen weight, aluminum alloys and composite materials that are "deader" in spring modulus and less susceptible to thermal effects, full-length porting for cooling, etc. I love old school tech and want to keep it, but I like to advance the state of the art, too. We should keep pushing the performance envelope. [/QUOTE]
