jjanglin Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hmmm: Wil Schuemann is a scientist,I like that !; altho Kevin at KKM worked with Wil for a while,Ive used I think every barrel out their at one time or another I dont think their is a spits worth of differance for the short term, Ive got abarrel of Wil's thats a Hybrecomp that has around 80,000 rounds through it (38 super),I have a Nowlin that has a similiar round count throught it in a 40. If a barrel is done right it;ll last a long long time,especially if ya use Wil's recommendations with cleaning them!!!!

nm3gnr Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I have a Scheuman Ultimatch .40 in one of my limited guns and it is very accurate and not too finicky on bullets. Good Luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I currently am shooting a .40 SV with 111,000 rounds on it. It's on it's second Schuemann barrel which is just over 50,000 in the log book. I keep a log for taxes and usage so when I hear folks say how many rounds they have in a gun I can be skeptical. At the pressures we shoot for Super (I do too) I don't see a barrel lasting all that long (50,000??) Wil's website estimates a Super barrel is gone inside 10,000 depending on the powder used! I had another .40 SV rebuilt last week with an AET left hand gain twist AND the Titanium coating. As long as I don't break a lug or ? it ought to shoot longer than a regular 416 barrel. The barrel in the first SV .40 still shoots brass jacketed bullets but won't shoot plated or lead bullets without keyholing. I also see KKM is now offering a bull barrel for 1911 guns...hmmmm???? Wil says .002" of wear at the throat means it's time for a new barrel. I've gone way beyond that but he is very scientific in his approach and the barrels will last longer. schuemann barrels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonub Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 what do you mean by wear may be increased/decreased depending on powder? Can you pls elaborate? Will this also be true on 40 caliber? Thanks Sorry for the OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennya Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I contacted Mr. Kart via email. He informed me that Kart Barrel does not produce any Bull Barrels. Anyone who would like to contact Kart via email I am putting the email down below. I guess I am going to wait on a Schuemann. Mr. Schuemann said it would be a 2 month wait. kartbarrel@atmc.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I've had good luck with Schuemann's barrels, but so have I with KKM. Lots of nice stuff out there these days. KKM proved to be a stand up guy when I needed it once too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtsay Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Can someone tell me where I can find Schuemann barrels? I can't seem to find any stores that has any stock. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennya Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Can someone tell me where I can find Schuemann barrels? I can't seem to find any stores that has any stock. Thanks so much! I have found them on Brownells (just standard barrels no-aet). I went to Schuemann's website called and ordered one directly from schuemann. It's a two month wait though.

Mick Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 If I remember right I believe Wil said some powders like AA7 are more corrosive or erode the barrels faster than others. I don't recall all the info but temperature and burning speed may contribute to barrel errosion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonub Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 thanks, so faster burning powder contributes to higher pressure that which is directly proportional to temperature should be avoided if possible since corrosion and wear may occur. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
