Thread: Opinions on accuracy

Have you checked the twist rate? I have no idea if it's critical with that calibre but with some it is.

Here's a shock for all. A green shop in dunners tried to sell me a 223 a while back, outside looked bloody tidy so a look down the tube was called for. Had to get the shop guy to clean it because it was that dusty. Once that was done the do not buy decision took at least 1.5 seconds. The thing was fucked.
Where did it go? Straight back on the shelf for some poor bastard to get lumbered with.

Yeah have checked the twist rate. Literally had tried everything. I ended up getting it borescoped by another Smith and it was deemed the throat was pretty corroded. Not sure why it wasn't picked up on by the original Smith but at least the problem was found.

Good outcome and it was the right outcome. .

"green shops" are on the top of where not to shop.

Will a re chamber fix it?

congrats!!!

No it wont, new barrel jobby. But thats now the previous owners problem. The action and trigger were nice, so it is a pity to hand the rifle back but so be it. Just hope that who ever next buys it will be told about the dud barrel. Ill keep an eye out for it though.
