    Seems strangely quiet on this front after all the hype.
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    It does, but don't forget it said in the AGW article that Mr.Taylor doesn't really like to give too much away.

    I can understand this not being quick.

    There must be an awful lot of testing to do, both of the process and of the product. It will be very interesting however when these barrels become available.

    Retro-fit anyone

    Yes it did, but I'm still a little surprised that its not in production already (assuming of course that it isn't). Given the massive enthusiasm for it when first revealed and the assurances that it was going to revolutionise practically every type of shooting i'd have thought it would have been making an appearance by now.
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    Barrels

    I spoke with Ben about these on Thursday and there's still loads of testing being done. All good things and that!

    Yep I saw a couple in the week! My Grandad has a small length of barrel blank as well, a nice pressie from Ben on his first visit to the shop, as an old engineer he's fascinated by it!

    Ben's a genius, and he wants it right, so it'll be ready when it's ready. He'll reveal more soon I'm sure.

    I know who will be making them and probably is still waiting for the 4 tonne of tubes to arrive.
    Like everything else there may be problems until sorted, i can see one that will rack their brains straight away and no one will be any wiser.
