LuckyDucky Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Add this onto the 9" barrel and now you have a ~9" sight radius! http://taylorfreelance.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=75&zenid=sgdqsp3ha0j0vi1u3cmrk6f5o0 Hmm, says it is for the threaded barrel.

d_striker Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I love experimentation, so I say go for it! I know I get dramatically more velocity between a 4" barrel and a 5", 5" to 6" doesn't seem to be as much, but I'd love to hear what you get going from 5" to 9". I know the ladies will love it I've been told that powder burn rate has everything to do with it. The longer the barrel, the slower the powder one needs to see velocity gains.

kneelingatlas Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Makes sense striker, if the powder is completely burned before the bullet exits the barrel, there shouldn't be as much to gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You should get an increase in velocity. You should get a flatter trajectory by just a bit as a result, and also a bit less recoil. Sounds like a fun gun to run actually. If you really trained with that thing, and weight was still an issue, start fluting the barrel, until you get what you want.

kcobean Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) This isn't a new sport. I'm sure someone's been down this road before, but that shouldn't stop you from experimenting for yourself. I'm just thinking that if 9" barrels made for better/faster shooting, the top shooters would be using them. The fact that 5-6 inches seems to be a deFacto standard where there isn't a formal standard tells me that that's probably the sweet spot. That said, I can't wait to see what wild crap you put together! LOL Edited April 3, 2015 by kcobean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yes and No, until a few years ago Limited still had production run requirements so experimenting with things like this would put you in Open so the experimentation period for iron sight guns is kind of starting over again where it stopped when red dots changed the game.

LilBunniFuFu Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 You also have to remember that IPSC Standard has a box the gun has to fit in. Why would the top shooters play with a platform that would be illegal at those matches? This isn't a new sport.

Seems like plenty use the 6" gun which is illegal in IPSC Standard so it doesn't seem like that many really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
