Anschutz 2013 Barrel

[ljmontano]

Anyone have a 2013 used coned barrel laying around Benchmark or Shilen.
I was thinking I might get a better response here before trying the want adds.
Thanks LJ

What is a 'cones' barrel?

A 60 degree cut at the tenon vs a extractor grove

What is a 'cones' barrel?

I've usually seen it referred to as a "coned" breach, rather than "cones". It looks something like this (though Anschutz 20xx barrels aren't usually threaded):



The idea is that you can then rotate the barrel to optimize the indexing for a given lot of ammo, since the 20xx is clamped rather than threaded. I suspect it's also a bit easier to machine, too, though I'm not an expert on that front. Downside is that the rim is more fragile and has a higher risk of damage from dry-firing or a mal-adjusted firing pin as compared to traditional extractor cuts.

"Cones", probably a typo. S and D are right next to each other! And Walt knows what a coned barrel looks like, I bet he's lost count of how many he's cut! And all the coned barrels I've seen were center fire and the cone cut on the barrel made a funnel which also helped feeding, just the reverse of that rimfire barrel.
