Home made tuner works and wins

[Smith357]

I made an end of berrel tuner to see for myself how well if at all the darn things work. I've done some research and this is my "on the cheap" design.

Made out of junk parts that I save becauise you never know when it might come in handy

, it's constructed with a PVC pumbing bushing for the press fit attachment point, a steel tube from a broken lamp, and three large washers wrapped in electrical tape.

I really worked better than I hoped and really helped with consistant groups with the cheap ammo. The rifle itself generally only shoots bugholes with Tenex and R50, but that's just way too expensive for a steady diet.

The Kimber won one a placed a few of the games in a fun shoot today.

It's nice to see a sporter hold her own in such company.

Hey Guy,
Can I ask what range you were at when you done this?

 

[Smith357]

We were shooting at 50 yards, with most targets being 3/8 inches or less in size.

I have to ask, I am not a rifle person, what is the purpose, is it to keep barrel vibration down.

 

[Smith357]

It's all about the science of barrel harmonics and ajusting them to where the end of the barrel is at a neutral wave point.
