I would like to know were you guys get your information about barrels being junk gageing over three.
The specification given for �Breech Bore Rejection� is �Over 0.306� or a TE reading of 6 on a gage. No specification is even given for muzzle wear!
Also saying wear to the muzzle is all from steel cleaning rods and not from firing is another internet myth
The muzzle will actually degrade from firing as the bullet leaves the barrel the hot gases erode the muzzle
In the Spring 2009 Garand Collectors Journal they did a extensive test to disprove this myth
It took 66,000 strokes of a bare steel segmented cleaning rod purposly drawing it on the side of the muzzle and only caused changed the wear reading by 1
They then fired 7,000 rounds through the rifle. The muzzle gaged .6 and measured almost 2 after firing the 7000 rds.
You can clearly see firing causes more erosion than a cleaning rod
If you are replacing barrels with MW of 3 send them all to me!!!
