    And remember, the barrel band is conical so put it on the right way. Really annoying to notice you got it wrong after you've replaced the front sight base... but I don't know anyone who'd admit they...

    Yep, never judge a milsurp on how it does with questionable ammo. New quality .308 is not that expensive.

    LASIK surgery saves you 0.024kg. Alternatively a monocle could just halve it, but at much less cost. But seriously, think of ADDING something maybe - a pair of spring buffered carbon tramping...

    Correct. That is why .22LR at 1200fps have no GCs either .... and there was a recent thread here on NZHS about whether you need to clean .22LR barrels. Clearly no major fouling issue from lack of...
