Jim Borden and Tuners

Hal, you have had better luck than I, with cylindrical tuners. You say you secure it with a brass locking nut; does your design require tools to adjust? Does the small bore, beyond the muzzle configuration pose any problems while cleaning?
I know your type tuner works because I have built a number of them, I just find my new design to be far more user friendly, easier and quicker to adjust, lighter weight, and less expensive. Why not let me send you one to try on your 6ppc? If you don't agree it is superior to what you are using just send it back. What do ya' say? genebeggs@cableone.net

Gene, while your design is lighter and less expensive, it surely isn't more user friendly as mine requires no tools to adjust. I have no doubt that your tuner works fabulously, but so does mine. At this time, I see no reason to add another variable to my setup. Also, all my barrels are threaded .900"X36tpi, so I couldn't just throw one of your's on an test it out.

If your going for what Bill calls his stopped muzzle this is the fastest way to get there in my humble opinion.

Lynn,
Did you read Kirk’s post in Bill’s thread on the rimfire forum before it was deleted by Wilbur with the notation “Not worth nuthin‘ !!!”?
Apparently the (rimfire) barrel Bill said was stopped in just 21 rounds (in his center fire forum thread) didn’t remain stopped very long.
I only mention this because if people are going to attempt the stopped rimfire muzzle theory having all the information can only help. IMO, that post was a long way from “Not worth nuthin’ !!!”.
I saved the post before it was deleted if you would like to read it?
Jim
