Thread: Aftermarket R93 and R8 Barrels – Major Safety Concerns

Whatever. You wouldnt have an alternate agenda would you?
I do not know anymore than what has been written on here either. If it is an overload, it makes the original post almost, defamatory. Running to the agent, in my minds stinks and is suspicious.

All I am saying is an actual cause had to be found before going public, not speculation. IMHO I am inclined to think it is of no fault of the fabricator knowing what I know of the cal and rifle design.

When it comes out in the wash Cam................It will be either defamatory or accurate.
As I said, the damage either way, has been done now.

Totally agree Tim. But is this not different in the fact you can overload any make of firearm and end up with the same result? The aftermarket barrel is being blamed here. The damage has been done now anyway.

Agenda? I've only put 2 and 2 together right now. It's how do you say..clearer on a laptop.
I would go as far as to say pot/kettle....

Hasn't it been stated already 'material too soft'??

Is this a off the shelf cartridge or a wildcat?

Spanners if the material used is what I think it was it is not to soft it is exactly the same hardness as a r8 Blaser barrel. I think someone has seen the colour of the meterial and just assumed it 416 or 304.
