John I have had barrels that were just not competitive in the past. 
But I do agree it can be a head thing for someone who actually does have one but doesn't believe that he does.

Art_ruggiero so very true. Over the years I have watched others spending allot of money trying copying those at the top of the winning list. And end up in a mode of constant change to only end up just chasing their own tail. When they probably already had what could get them their in the first place. And what others would then end up trying to copy it they would just spend enough time with it.

Joe as I mentioned earlier it is how Barry Darr went about it and that I will not share.

Cbashooter I do not make barrels..


That's not very helpful John. I think your sincerity system is out of order.

I can understand a technician not wanting to divulge something that gives him an edge over the competition, but to carry the "secret" to his grave is being a bit churlish, IMO. How is mankind to advance its knowledge if all smart people keep themselves to themselves? 

Death bed confession: "I'm outta here folks. Here's why I shot 1/2" groups at 200 yards all my life with a .32-40 - I lubed my bullets with grease that oozes out of my lawn mower's king pins. If y'all want it, go see my wife and she'll sell it to you for $10K."

I wouldn't believe it now, anyway. If he left a secret with you he probably didn't care- somebody else was doing it better by then.

Reaming a choke in a bore is not rocket science even though John thinks it is.
He's having fun holding the bag of candy away from the other kids.  Grin

Not the most adult thing to do.  I got a kick out of Dellets post when he said John dropped a turd in the punch bowl. Good entertainment.  Smiley

Nothing is really Rocket Science Joe if born with common sense and abit of mechanical abilities to go along with it. 
And I am still not got to share it and maybe he passed it onto the gentleman who bought all of his barrel making equipment. To give him the same edge so you might try getting it from him as he is also on this site.

Your bag of candy is imaginary, John.  You play with it.  Grin

John, for humanities sanity. Announce to your adoring public that you shall leave all your secrets in your memoirs. Is that a good idea?
