This Offer is now CLOSED...

Stating Publicly what I have also sent by PM or EMail...

----------------------------------------------

Long story short... Green Mountain dropped their $110 SS barrel blanks (i.e. it used to be both 27" CM and SS were $110... I know, because last year I built 6-7 .358 Winchesters using both SS and CM). I did NOT recheck this year... my bad.

They do have a $154 SS barrel blank now.

Bottomline, I said in my post I would build a barrel for $250 (R700) or $275 (AR-15)... AND I said you had your choice of CM or SS.

I DO NOT go back on my word... so I will do you a SS if you like at the quoted price... or you can do a CM (Parkerized) I won't have to eat the $40... or if you would like to meet me in the middle by adding $20 my haircut won't end up so severe... 100% your call... no hard feeling either way.

Be well, Leonard

P.S. We are also doing case gauges ($30) and muzzle brakes ($30)

P.S.S. I have a .357AR NO-GO gauge... it is loaned free, just mail it back after you check your rifle.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Repeat... This Offer is now CLOSED...

So... friend of mine that was helping me with some load development for .358 Winchester... took some cheap blem #3510 Hornady's and some BS Amerc Powder... 7.62 Military brass (necked out to .358)...

On a Green Mountain cheapo .358 blank on a RR Remington 700 action and 3-9 Cabelas scope did these three at 100 yesterday...

[Linked Image]

Most of the .358W loads are running hot and fast with these pills with IMR-3031 and BL-C(2)... up to 2,640 FPS

These three were slow... only 2,240 FPS.

-------------------------------------

Why is any of the this relevant to .357 AR?

Same blanks (1:14 twist) and same pills... and similar speeds (maybe)... and a 20" barrel.

Been working on a idea called "Barrel Time Theory" with QL... i.e. cross-compatibility of various powders based solely on barrel time.

FYI... the load above was purely a blammo load for my .358W (i.e. speeds are 400 FPS slower than my .358W hunting loads).

The reamer is being resharpened now (Manson) and is already pre-sold to another guy.

I AM NOT THE GUY TO DO MORE BARRELS... but if you want to order your own reamer... I am happy to share my knowledge on the process... where to buy extensions... profiles/specs as well as the top shelf Smith we used. Drop me a PM.

Set one up to pre fit for the Ruger American Rifle, with a better nut than stock and they'd sell well.

SO... while trimming some .223 Basic brass for my friend Danny... I decided to leave the trimmer set at 1.595" and try a couple of pieces of 5.56...

It is showing promise...

[Linked Image]

IMHO it will require a neck expand and a retrim, BUT brass is basically free... and maybe, just maybe a 1.592" trim would leave the brass at 1.595" after the expand (eliminating the retrim step), but alas I am only good at trial and error vs. "real Trigonometry", but maybe y'all want to try this...

AND MAYBE... This is why the .350 Legend is 1.710" and not 1.595"... to keep us cheapskates from doing just this.

Just pondering

This might work... for bulk production... neck expander and decapper...

Zip the 5.56 brass with a WFT (World's Finest trimmer)... then pop the case mouth with this.

Annealing would help, but MIGHT NOT be mandatory...

Just thinking... My numbers might be wrong, but you get the general idea.

Lee Universal decapper... or a big RCBS something (.458 etc)
