Thread: Aftermarket R93 and R8 Barrels – Major Safety Concerns

Factory Barrel sales must be down.
Seriously, how does a chamber massively expand without failure from the weaker moving parts?

A barrel threaded to the existing, treated, receiver/knox should be no weaker than any other barrel receiver assembly.

It's good to see your back , haven't seen you around for awhile .

Stager Sport .
While I've got you on the line , I'd just like to ask if you have a American Skeet Stock for a F3 Blaser .
I'm on the hunt for one , I don't care what grade or condition of timber , anything would be considered as long as its uncut and not an adjustable comb .

Hi Ken,
Our information is that the US Super Skeet gun uses the standard Super Sport adjustable Stock configuration. If you want a non adjustable we may be able to obtain one of the old model Monte Carlo format stocks that are without an adjustable cheekpiece.
If you can e-mail an idea of stock dimensions we may have something here in store suitable.

Question 1:

When the breech block is locked in place there should be no moving parts.

The barrel Stager inspected was stainless as was the bolt lock up parallel extension which was not factory Blaser.

The person who had made this complete unit had produced a separate 95mm parallel lock up and then threaded it and then screwed the barrel into it.

The stainless steel locking extension he manufactured was made of a material far to soft for the task of withstanding the pressures that are developed in the chamber.

The fact that the lock up extension and barrel was threaded may also have played a part, if this threading had excessive tolerance the chamber sidewalls being relatively slim would be very much inclined to expand into the excess threading tolerance.


If a genuine Blaser barrel lock up extension is used then, other than correct headspace and ensuring the bolt lock up is complete there should be no problem.

How do I buy one? I assume this is the section with the two studs and scope attachment points?
