TMC Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ramped. You don't want to shoot major 40 out of an unramped barrel because they typically do not fully support the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbagum Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think you have already gotten your answer... but in case you are still wavering I will add my vote for ramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ramped. You don't want to shoot major 40 out of an unramped barrel because they typically do not fully support the case Pretty much gonna have to disagree with that statement, My single stack 40 is built on a non ramped barrel with several thousand major pf ( mostly factory) ammo through it with no ill effects or bulged brass. We've had a few posts with pictures showing very little difference between the brass support in the two barrels. A ramped barrel is a little easier to fit and get tuned to run 100% with any type of bullet. Ive built a couple non ramped 9mm's and .40, the ('s wouldnt run hollow points 100% never tried it in the 40 but I think it would, most of the 40 bullets I used were flat nosed. If I was building I would buy a frame cut for a Wilson Nowlin ramp and a ramped barrel for reliability's sake. Mine were non ramped becasue I get a deal on a couple factory second non ramped frames, and I can fit a non ramped barrel without a mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Taliani Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm unfortunately going to have to disagree with all of the above posts. I'd personally go with a ramped barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawboy Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks everyone for your input and heart-felt advise. I went ahead and built the gun on an unramped barrel. Can't wait to make GM with it! ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 ramped is preferable but if it runs with a non-ramped barrel, it dont matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawboy Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 ramped is preferable but if it runs with a non-ramped barrel, it dont matter I was being funny due to all the humorous posts. Have not built the gun yet. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Don't worry, you can always weld a ramp to it. The world hasn't ended yet, just came awfully close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
