    calfee night train copy ?

    Martin, the way you see it, there was about a 27" barrel on it. I think it was a six groove but don't remember for sure The long barrel was experimental. I'll leave it to you to figure out the experiment. Calfee didn't have time to get a longer blank so he used a 28" standard blank. This by...

    How does one post on a blog?

    Right at the bottom of the blog entry there's a little pencil like icon. It says post a comment. It's just off to the left of the entry. Starting one is not hard either.

    Ratchet vs Octagon

    In 2007, at least the way I heard it, Bill Calfee worked with Ed Shilen and the current, taper lapped rimfire Ratchet barrel was born. Everybody had to have one, including me! Shilen was flooded with orders. Now, in 2009, Calfee advertises a rifle for sale with a Shilen Octagon rifled barrel...

    cleaning rods preference

    I know a guy who uses nothing but patch worms. Can't argue with his scores, so they must work.

    Shilen Octagon

    The barrel is round. The octagon, or as they referred it to me, polygonal, is the rifling. It's different but maybe not a totally new concept. You really have to look at to undertand it.

    cleaning rods preference

    I had a Neil Jones. Sure can't complain about it. They're a good set up. I use Lucas on all my rifles now, but it was mainly because I could use the Lucas on two different rifles.

    cleaning rods preference

    I think hard polished stainless is the best. Carbon fiber is probably the worst, so if you use it, you could be a boob. I've had both Myers rods and Ivy rods and Ivy rods are just as good and may be better. So, that's what I would, and do, go with. I have one with an integral jag and one...

    Yeah, except improper tuning doesn't wear out the lands.

    barrels

    My personal thinking is if a barrel wears out after two cases, it's because of cleaning. Also, sometimes a shooter will have a really good run or a really good lot of ammo and lose that edge and blame the barrel. Most people will talk about the wear at 6 O'clock, which is true. They will wear...

    Team Calfee Book?

    Lynn didn't pay. I answered a question to the best of my knowledge. But I've seen a heck of a lot more blatant advertising on this board that what's done in this thread.

    Match 54 barrel change

    There used to be a video available from Border barrels on how to change an Anschutz barrel. I don't know if it's still available or not, but best I remember the original barrel is pressed in ( the video also showed how to get it out) and not glued. The replacement; however, was glued only with...

    Looking Back on 2009

    I imagine we all have had bonehead moments. I remember shooting 21 straight 100's on an ARA target almost dead center. I had the condition and I had the ammo. 22nd shot was a 25 out of nowhere, 23rd a 10 24th a 50 and 25 was a 100. I was very perplexed until I saw the three holes in my flag...
