StealthyBlagga Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sorry - the combination of some major matches, work travel and honey-dos has left me zero time for gunsmithing. I hope to get to it during Thanksgiving week. In the meantime, here is a photo of the stainless kitchen sink I installed this weekend: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhp147 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm just waiting to see if this was a drop-in sink or if you went with the fitted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm just waiting to see if this was a drop-in sink or if you went with the fitted one. It required even more fitting than the barrel will... my friend had to come over with his Dremel-on-steroids to grind on the countertop. Fit is perfect now, with exceptionally consistent water placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddler Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Wow. What size groups did you get with the stock barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missed it by that much Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 4 to 6 inch groups with the exception of a couple of loads which were hovering around 2 inches at same distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Been contemplating upgrading my stock barrel but didn't know what kind of barrel to get or if it was worth it. Those 147s seem to be running nice. What's your hind sight opinion? Worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missed it by that much Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I still want to play with more powder and bullet combinations but for me it shrunk my groups so when I miss I know it's me I still want to see what it does at 25 yds also. Since I won the barrel it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkMyDuds Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Does anyone know how good the "semi fit" BarSto barrels are? It is surely nice to have BarSto fit the gun for the "match grade" barrel, but the wait time is the 12-18 week manufacturing time + shipping back forth + gunsmithing time. That's pretty much 6 months gone easily. Really interested in seeing some results of the "semi fit" barrels. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have a Match barrel being installed in my 9L by C-Rums. I ordered the barrel when I first saw them listed on the website in Sept. I got it in a few weeks. I gave Jeff the pistol and my M2 to do some tweaking over the winter with no pressure other than have it done by spring. So he may not even have touched it yet with all the other customers he is dealing with. My past experience with BarSto barrels has been excellent. I am sure the M&P will be better for it too.

missed it by that much Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 My match fit was ready two weeks after I ordered the barrel and I sent the gun in to be fitted and gone was done in about 4 weeks and back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've been eyeballing the Wilson combat barrels. Anyone have any experience with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hostetter Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 So how is the Bar Sto working out? What kind of accuracy are you getting out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I went ahead ordered drop-in KKM for my pro 5''. Got it after a week. Group size at 25 yards tightened up from 5 inches to 2-3 inches using sandbags. Berry's and Extreme 147 gr plated and Titegroup. I am very satisfied with the KKM barrel.
