Hey guys,
Say a while back I was able to make a "thimble" to use in a Rapid so I could install an FX barrel liner. Though to be honest I ended up messing up the dimensions and it leaked something bad around the outer probe. I was talking with a company here in the states, but I have not heard anything from them. I was just looking again at getting my Hm1000x set up again and it got me to thinking about the barrel.
Being as I don't have access to a lathe, at the moment, I have been wondering what barrels people are using for the heaver slugs? I also have an Fx King in 22 that is shooting slugs great, and I would like to potentially use the same barrel style. Being as the barrels are all a 1:16 twist much the same as our rimfire barrels are. I was wondering if any one has had the opportunity to see what some of the rimfire barrel options are and if they might actually work for our rifles now.
Just sitting here thinking.......
