I've been working on 25 caliber Barnes barrels.

I spent two days researching shop ledgers, shop mechanical drawings, notes, cleaning and measuring rifling buttons - reamers - and slugging bores. I then pulled a few barrels based upon the research.

I've accumulated a huge library of designs, intricate shop drawings, notes, proceedure and specification documents. Then range testing results. It's quite a task to follow individual threads through the total. Would be nice if it were all correlated and searchable. Perhaps.

Sal. I was not convinced that the barrel blank I had for you was suitable. I now have a greater inventory.

That's what I'm talkin' about! Good ole days are back.

BTW, is there a light source out of view illuminating the bores?

Hi Lon,

No additional light. Phone camera flash. Just worked well for this incident.

Thanks.

Once you've gone through the brain-work to get it exactly right, no sense in making just one copy.

Thanks Gary,
There is never any doubt about the quality when it comes to a Barnes.

I'm sure all of those barrels will be put to good use, there are all kinds of ledger items that could use a .25 barrel. It may even end up on mine when we get there.
