Bushings with only one hole?
I just got a HW Barrel from Tim McMurray and the bushing only has one hole? This is a little weird for Tim….the hole isn’t even threaded BTW…

Does anyone else have a Mac1 barrel that is mounted like this? Sure odd an odd arrangement….
Way to work it out critter.
By the way, I just finished polishing and cleaning the HW barrel. It is amazing. Perfectly smooth, a little tighter than the LW though and with a longer choke.

Neeeeevermind….I figured it out. One screw goes thru the hole and holds the barrel in. The other two stub bolts hold the bushings in…Different mounting procedure, but equally stable.
Yeah Critter-
Give him a call, he is the man, and will take care of you.
Tim is old school, I went to his shop long before your Pop’s had a glimmer in his eye, ie, your conception 😯 😯
Seriously call him up and ask, he is a great guy and will fix any problems.

Have you ordered from him in the past to know this is a mistake?
I’m wondering if the bushings are a press fit onto the barrel so they only need the one screw to secure the barrel & bushing. Also he may leave the bushing un-threaded so that you can insert it into your frame and use it while you tap it in the installed position so that your threads between the frame & bushing are timed correctly.
Dunno, Just a theory…

Older Talons only had one hole per delrin bushing for the single frame screw from underside and a friction fit between barrel and bushing, then when they released the Condor they put the extra holes in the side of the frame but not the bushing so small set screws would press on the bushing.
The latest version has 1 threaded hole to attach the metal bushing to the barrel and 2 full depth unthreaded holes on the side as well as the underneath. Never seen one use threaded bushings for the frame set screws – the threads would have to be cut with the bushing inside the frame so that the threads lined up.
