Thread: Aftermarket R93 and R8 Barrels – Major Safety Concerns

I did look at an F3 but decided it would make no difference to my shooting. 2 of my mates use em but I don't like either of them and would rather have a Browning or Beretta and keep the change. Not to mention I could buy aftermarket bit from more than a single supplier/importer.

For more than 1 caliber option the R93 platform becomes pretty affordable actually. There are more than one way to skin a cat when it comes to supplier options too. I stopped buying from the local agent years ago.
The price argument is a bit weak with respect though. Its like saying Ladas are good cars cause they are cheap?
The only Blaser aftermarket parts I know of (other than accessories) are the Bix n Andy triggers. Kind of says something?
Kinda getting well off topic though.

I knew this was a shit thread from the get go.

FYI Id shoot no better with an F3 too, a Baikel would still be too good for me when it comes to smooth bores!
