I snarfed though, so I think you technically owe me a new keyboard. 😛

@crowpopper
I assume you’re talking about your powderburner, meaning *sigh* there is some difference between the two I still am unaware of. Its possible that, ironically, our air rifles have too high a twist rate since muzzle loaders are the few things…Read more

Thank you WalkonKing.

Lets back up a second.

In the link to the yellow forum is TiN. (titanium nitride) Thats the CLOSEST to whats now referred to as “nitriding” but that particular process IS a coating because you’re adding titanium nitride to the surface. Its usually done with vapor deposition IIRC. Actual NITRIDING, also…Read more

We’re not shooting rimfire here. 😉 If anything though one of my joys from shooting air rifles is the challenge you can get in a relatively short space. If you want to go have fun with a large caliber centerfire you have to find a couple miles of open space to shoot safely. Here you…Read more

Its a surface conversion. What does it do? It radically increases hardness and lubricity. On firearms its a well established way to increase accuracy FYI.

Unlike with supersonic designs where you’re ahead of the wave, here it is critical to evenly strip turbulence off the round. You didn’t gain that much volume on me…Read more

Feel free to take your chances with cheap carbon. 😛 You are correct though you can design a shroud such that it is far more tolerant of a tank dump.

Anyway as requested an image:

That is what I meant by extending it into the existing front of the shroud on the Talon SS.…Read more

You want about 80% longitudinal under a seamless cloth sleeve thats roll wrapped.

Also as far as needing the carbon “thick” I’d say what you want is your first “dampers” to start, if you’re running an SS,…Read more
