Rich.


Rich, one piece barrels have been made for some years. They may ultimately have a price advantage. Light weight is not always desirable. The handling characteristics of the barrels need to be taken into account during the gun's design.

That is absolutely not true. I sold the gun to a well known manufacturer so that they could suppress its existence and insure continuing sales. Just like the water -> gasoline pills.

Don -
I, of course, always admire the pursuit of knowledge but in some instances I'm bothered by the collection of "data" for the apparent purpose of collecting data. I find the gun thing particularly troublesome in that regard since nothing more than wood density can affect the data to a likely demonstrable degree and stock conformation is not quantified - straight grip, PG, MC, splinter, BT, etc. AND gunmakers for maybe century or so have already derived empirically a set of parameters that can be generally applied or tailored to a specific individual. So just what purpose is it that your data serves?

inquiring minds, etc

If a person shoots multiple disciplines, and a broad selection of game, the handling parameters of various shotguns play a roll in their success.

No point in adding a gun into the mix "you" couldn't possibly shoot well. Or, worse yet, buy it, then spend a king's ransom trying to make it into something it's not.


Out there doing it best I can.

I want to thank Rocketman for taking the time to explain the complexities of his turntable measurement technique in private messages. It is a very interesting subject, and Don is a great gentleman for going the extra mile to help the inquisitive.

Clapper, +1. Above is the point of understanding a gun's handling and what can reasonably be done about it.

Steve, thanks for the kind words.
