Every brand of what we call a barrel tuner today watching this is screaming STOP! at the screen lol. Every gunsmith thinking of how many potential lost customers for barrel threading he'll lose is making him pull his hair out lol. It's a good test now to see if it translates to the next lot number of ammo and how well it repeats over time. Looking forward to more videos in 2024. Merry Christmas!
I have a barrel tuner that fits one of my barrels. Now I have two shaft collars that fit another barrel. When this interest wanes, they will find their place on the shelf. In the end its the original rifle and time on the range 😆.
I watched a video in which a guy used some kind of a plumbing compression fitting to similar results. $2.00 part! I have yet to experiment with it but it looked promising!😅❤❤❤
I have 3 home made tuners made from brass. So far only one works as intended but I never tried them behind the muzzle as you did in this video. 2 thumbs up!
Interesting, love that you did some repeatability testing followed by removing them. Curious if there was any cleaning of the barrel during the testing, great video!
Cleaned the barrel when new, before any range time. Prior to this day the barrel had 200 rounds of ammunition through it from new. I fired 20 rounds for fouling before aim at the One Inch Targets trial in this video. No cleaning during testing. I put a dry 1" round on a 'PatchWorm' for one pull through to pick up residue after each outing. After the next outing (approximately 400 rounds total since new), I'll saturated a 'mop' with Bore Tech C4 using a pistol rod from the breech end and let it soak for 10 minutes. After withdrawing the mop from the breech end, I'll saturate a 1" cotton patch with C4 and pull it through (breech to muzzle) with the 'PatchWorm'. Then with the 'PatchWorm', 3,4, 5 ot 6 more round patches until dry and clean.🧐
Seen another YT vid called "$2 barrel tuner" where guy used a single shaft collar (non split). Got good results also but once he found a node he started moving in .001" increments. He ended up about 1.5" from muzzle.
Yes I know that video. It was one of the 'motivators' for my trial. One day I will spend some time for refinement of placement. When the season warms up in a few months.
My CZ 457 MTR 20" shoots a .3o inch group at 50 meters using SK Rifle Match, if there is more than one hole it's more often than not my fault. I get the impression that your rifle doesn't like the ammo.
Eley ( approx. 0.038" rim thickness) is not its ammunition of choice. The rifle was chambered for Lapua ( approx. 0.043" rim thickness). I knew this when I did this video. Having more Tenex on hand than Center-X, I chose Tenex to use. I had some decent groups with Ctr-X a couple of weeks ago. Will get back to it soon hopefully! 😉
Why are you using two, when it should be one weight moving? And why are you fairly randomly moving half-inch increments, when the frequency of the vibration can be thousandths of an inch, in wavelength? If you want to adjust the length of a full sine wave length, then your adjustments have to be in factions smaller than the wavelength! In other words, your testing was immediately invalid, non-systematic, imprecise, and orders of magnitude too coarse to detect anything. It seems you either don't understand the principles of such tuning, or you were just making a prank video?
Wow, glad to see my article was useful to someone. Nice work, I will try the collar when I get my new barrel... Charlie
See what you started Charlie! 😉. Nice video on your part!

Self-determined innovation! Even getting to the moon has its roots in Orville and Wilbur looking at and using bicycle parts in a different way. 🧐
I wish I had a nickle for everytime someone asked what is that thing? They would have paid for themselves,@@22rimfireultra67

Great info. Thanks 👍. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Interesting results to be sure. Merry Christmas to you as well!

Why two and not just one? I use one on mine and works great.
Hey, try weighting the ammo first it helps with fliers.
👏👏👏👏👏

Interesting results. I'd also try repeatability at 7". That group looked to be almost the same as 7.5".
That seems to be the place that makes the barrel 'purr' 😻!
At least for that day!
You are on to something. Glad to see you repeated the groups.
The control groups offer a little validity 🤓. I hope to extend this a bit in the not to distant future (winter time and all)🥶.

Thanks for your observational analysis. I somewhat agree with your academic critique.....for the most part. 🤔
