I've been dinking around testing some barrels from new mfgrs....... for some reason several of them offer only 1.2 shanks VS 1.250.
These skinny shanks don't shoulder up to my liking. They kinda' just 'never really stop' and it scares me......I might try nutting some of them even though it kinda' skews my testing.
I've also got 5-6 testing setups currently set up with barrel nuts. I'm still unconvinced, but testing proceeds apace. I'm testing the barrel nut setups on known-quality blanks (Shilen, Bartlein, Krieger, Lilja) These nuts I've been making from "Grade 8" nuts from the hardware store, because factory options won't take the torque I subject them to. It's a pita.
Is anyone making upgraded, stronger and larger 1 1/16X16tpi 1.350 or 1.250 nuts to sell?
I know that Kiff makes them in standard replacement but I want more strength.....
