This video features Bobby Tyler of Tyler Gun Works demonstrating practical, real-world upgrades to enhance the accuracy of hunting revolvers. The discussion covers addressing common issues like gritty triggers, rudimentary sights, slippery grips, and draggy cylinders to ensure the firearm's accuracy potential is realized. Specific upgrades discussed include selecting appropriate sights, performing an "Accuracy Package" (barrel crown, forcing cone cut, barrel throat chamfering), and an "Action Job" for a smooth trigger pull. The video emphasizes that factory barrels are often sufficient when the rest of the revolver is properly tuned, and highlights the significant accuracy improvements achieved through these modifications.
This video provides practical tips for diagnosing and fixing accuracy issues in hunting rifles, particularly bolt-action models. Hosts Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant of Brownells Gun Techs cover common problems such as shooter error, incorrect ammunition selection, loose or misaligned optics, stock warpage affecting barrel contact, and bore fouling. They also briefly touch on barrel wear and crown damage, offering solutions like bedding with Acraglas and professional re-crowning. The advice is timely for deer season and applicable to most bolt-action rifles.
This video features master pistolsmith Bobby Tyler discussing his philosophy on custom firearms, emphasizing that performance should always come first, even before aesthetics. He breaks down the intricate internal tuning required for revolvers, likening it to a Swiss watch, and highlights the importance of 'timing' and precise alignment of components. The discussion extends to an 'accuracy package' involving cylinder gap, barrel crown, and chamber throat uniformity. Tyler also touches upon how ergonomic modifications, grip panel choices, hammer spur design, and sight configurations enhance a shooter's performance. Finally, he addresses the visual aspects of custom guns, suggesting that a firearm that shoots exceptionally well should also have a refined appearance, including polishing, appropriate markings, and selective engraving for both aesthetics and practicality.
This video features Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, explaining the critical role of the muzzle crown in maintaining rifle accuracy. He details various types of rifle crowns and provides a practical demonstration of how to repair a damaged crown, emphasizing that even high-quality rifles will suffer from poor performance if this component is compromised.
This video focuses on the crucial aspect of rifle barrel maintenance: crowning. It explains that the crown is the final point of contact for the bullet, making its integrity vital for accuracy. The description details how a boring bar is used to cut an 11-degree target crown within a small recess, designed to protect the delicate surfaces of the crown from damage. This process is essential for maintaining the ballistic performance of a rifle.
This video demonstrates the process of crowning a rifle barrel, specifically focusing on recreating a deep radius muzzle crown as seen on "Custer's rifle." The demonstration features Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, utilizing a specialized cutter and a metal lathe. The content is geared towards gunsmiths and firearm enthusiasts interested in barrel modifications and precision work.
