Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Carbon barrels fry faster ?

Sorry to leave you hanging. The board met last night and more info and a fall special introduction will be announced in less than a week.

Carbonman any new info on the barrels?

Stick,
Here's an image of the external plating using the Ultracem. Greasy fingerprints notwithstanding, you can see how the plating follows every detail of this relatively rough lower.
Barrel bore coating is going to be announced at the SHOT show next month and will be a go to sell at that point.

I've been mentioning the process to pards and there certainly is unanimous interest. As details unfold,please keep sharing them.

I appreciate the update.................

I noticed the AR lower has a broken guard boss, another one of those basement gunsmith screwups?

Dan,
If there is something busted on this lower, you'll have to point it out. I'm not seeing it and I have it in my hands.

The trigger guard assembly is held in place with 2 pins, the front captive pin and a rear roll pin, the receiver is missing one side of the receiver boss that the rear pin passes through. It is easy to see from the photo. I have seen more than one of these bosses broken by someone using a hammer to install the pin in an unsupported receiver

DFC,
You are the victim of an optical delusion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The scanner I use for quick images got you. Here's the bottom view.

I'm very sorry at this point, that I posted my original statement about the broken boss. I'm not buying your statement about it being an "optical delusion" As I believe it's optical elusion. I don't make mistakes in examining a picture, either your camera is not of high quality or your scanner is defective. If, in fact the lower is not broken, you could always post a picture showing the serial number and both guard bosses. Don't do it for me, I'm not interested at this point.

Dan

DFC why all the hostility? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />I don't think that it really makes any differance if the boss is broken or not.I think that Carbonman was trying to show use what his plating looked like.Maybe I am sticking my big nose some where that is does not belong.If so I am sorry.

Dan,
I don't take kindly to folks questioning my integrity. This lower is not for sale and I have no reason to hide a broken part. I'm unsure of what your motivations are, however, in this case you did make a mistake in examining the picture.
If you are not interested you sure have wasted your time and mine on this sidetrack to the thread.

I don't take kindly to folks questioning my integrity."
I feel the same way about my intelligence, I hate it when someone insults it. Why are the color hue's different?

Dan

Your email claiming I'm inserting an old image is ludicrous. The light and contrast do differ on the images,
secondary to adjusting for the dark first pass off the scanner. That's why anyone seriously interested in the process gets a sample coupon of stainless or CM to look at it first hand.

I don't know why you insist on grinding this axe. As far as your intelligence is concerned, I didn't intend to insult it but I do suggest spell check.

I agree, the point is trivial. Trouble is you made a mistake (understandable with the poor image quality I posted) and now you aren't big enough to back down.

Let's get back to the topic and leave this.

Tell you what, you bring that receiver to the shot show, I'll be there and will look at it, if I can't find where you glued the piece back on, I'll buy you and your wife a steak. And you can eat it when you get home.
PS: I have speak and type and now and then it screws up, most of the time I check it, but this time I don't check it for accuracy.


Dan

Sorry about getting off the topic at hand. I don't have any opinion on whether they fry any faster than a standard barrel. However I have in the past sectioned several dozen take off barrels, just to see what they look like around and in front of the chamber. One thing I have noticed is massive cracking for the first 12" or so of the barrel, the length of the cracking was dependent on the caliber and number of rounds shot. The point here is the cracks may come from expanding metal when the high pressure is pushing the bullet down the tube. like a duck egg in a Rattle Snake. Now we turn the barrel down to a skinny tube and coat it with whatever is popular today. I wonder what that egg in the snake looks like?

Why don't you send him that chip off your shoulder for plating, the way you are tossing it around you might just wear it out!

I would bet he would take the steak home rather than break bread with a personality like your's...

sitka deer,
"DFC

Having read your negative post several times looking for the hidden meaning, you must have disguised it rather well, I give up. Would you like to tell me what your post has to do with the subject at hand. other than your personal opinion about my personality, which by the way is mine and may not be perfect, but then I didn't stick my nose in your business, did I?

"I would bet he would take the steak home rather than break bread with a personality like your's" I sure as hell didn't invite anyone to dinner. You are quite funny art.

Dan

Carbonman don't sweat DFC, he just likes to spread his love where ever he goes. Oh and btw DFC that SUCKS action you wanted me to virtually give away turned into a Sako 579 (older model). Had I listened to you the only thing I would of got out of the deal was screwed.

Gentlemen,
I haven't written DFC off, nor am I bearing a grudge. I'm pretty certain that he and I have met before and we got along great. I can't place the face with the name or a place but I have a hunch. I may be missing something but I have the impression he has made many positive contributions to the forum. Sadly this thread has fallen victim to less than productive posts.

I'll have the lower in Orlando with me and many folks will have a chance to look at it. DFC may or may not introduce himself when he inspects it.

I used to be able to post the URL of this link as an informational thread. That's pretty much fried now.

Mike
I apologize for any part I played in debasing the thread... will gladly delete my post if you like. I only thought it absurd that someone would be so openly hostile over his own misjudgement.
