That was the barrel Chuck practiced his clutch threading technique on, Jack. 

Here it is in its original form from Chuck's estate.  The action is now sporting a heavy 28 cal barrel.

What was the nut for?  Or was it a little silencer disguised to look like a big nut?

Chris.

Ah! Canadian Esque!

Joe knows more about the Canadianesk barrel nut craze.

Looks like you could shoot out the window too Jack.

Of coarse Bev being a CBA shooter; he did things differently than most Schuetzen shooters.

Bev shoots both courses of fire. I've been beat by him at Kenmore (CBA) and Tacoma (ASSRA). 

I remember the day at Kenmore when nothing was going right and he was going to open a lead mine at the muzzle as soon as the match was over. He shot a 399, out of 400 possible, and I forget how many X's. No sympathy after that.

We got some fixer uppers for sure. Here is a more deluxe fixer upper. Not currently for sale. This one has all the bells and whistles. Even has an antique fixer upper pickumup truck in the barn.
I been trying to get Jack to move away from Warshington for years.

Sure Greg…..like you need another project!

May be finish a couple forearms first!

I am never moving unless I can find a place that my wife wants (salt waterfront) and I want (a 200yd minimum shooting range).  Oh, and it has to be affordable unless I hit the lottery.  Maybe somewhere around Coyle Wa!

No shooting range there Joe.  I suppose I could have put a floating target in the water and skip bullets toward the submarine base.

Jack, a little change in your life is good for you. Susan is a blonde isn't she?

Somebody, a shooter needs to buy Tommy's place for sure.

I will give you the ugly crown for that rifle Wes.

Joe, your rug is upside down. makes the rifle look bad.

That explains it.  He probably invented the nut on the end of the barrel idea.

the more I learn about Chuck, the more I realize how savvy the fellow was. Good call Mr. B.

I always thought that Bev never shot offhand.  Just bench.

By the time I got it, the barrel had been set back at least twice.  More like a carbine instead of a rifle.

Here is the runner-up.   I call it the Grey Rat.  The barrel was on the pitted receiver for a while and was dubbed the Rat Rifle by Wes.  It shot too well so the 8 groove barrel got a decent French grey receiver.  I dug out the extra long forend a few days back and spent quite a bit of time with sandpaper wrapped around a 1-1/4" wood dowel to get it to fit.  There is a poorly repaired crack that might get cut off depending on what position on the front bag works best. Someday I might even clean up the outside of the barrel.

Looks like my kind of rifle Dave.

not a rifle i know but sewer pipe bore abused  rusted Ruger OA that shoots good 'nuff to keep my nice ones in the safe.its not a stainless gun btw,it just has no finish left.

the forcing cone is a sandblasted funnel yet it still shoots

with a bore that bad I'd thought the projectiles would tip and not be stable but the holes are nice and round
