Thread: Aftermarket R93 and R8 Barrels – Major Safety Concerns

That is required with actions, not barrels.

Gunsmiths scrap commercial actions every day in this country because of expansion... I assume those actions were all checked and proofed.

Stagers have no incentive apart from safety in this issue?

Where are the people who have been injured as a result of all these shonky gunsmiths?

The whole... we have a problem, we must regulate attitude sucks...

People who acquired these barrels are not inexperienced, people who design and develop wildcat cartridges can identify expansion issues and catastrophic failure without warning signs are unlikely.

This is a niche area, a niche issue and we get... we must regulate....

In this country over the last few years, we have had a significant development in knowledge and understanding of cartridge and rifles particularly in the long range area that may never have occurred had everyone been qualified, and every design proofed before experimentation could occur.

Thats the last thing we need....
