Barrel Tuners for NRA F/TR competition

[4xforfun]

Well, I was out on business and got a call from a good friend...one who has a far greater understanding of the written word and has infinitely greater comprehension and reading skills than I. he explained ( in terms that my pea brain could grasp) how the tuner pictured above works.

I have this to say...

That tuner is some fine "out of the box" thinking....AWSOME!!

That tuner does not add weight to the rifle!!

I stand corrected.....NOT ALL TUNERS ADD WEIGHT TO A RIFLE!! :-[ :-[ :-[

Sorry, please accept my apology. I need to bone up on my reading and comp skills.

Thanks DMORAN...Sorry ERIC!!

Apology accepted. And thanks for your comments about my tuner, it took a few sleepless nights and different prototypes before I could get it to work just right.

Erik - saw the photo from Steve Blair showing your tuner. Nice work. It would appear the barrel and tuner each have threads installed for the to tuner to screw out toward the end of the barrel and then use the set screw to lock it into place. Would it have been just as easy to not use the threads and make it a pure slip on? Eliminate the thread and the number marks?
Could these threads also support a screw on surpresser?

I would think the issue with a slip-on solution is repeatability - first, how would you adjust it a known and repeatable amount while testing and then if it "slipped", how would you return it to your tuned state?

Offhand, the only way I can think to do that would be to use feeler gauges and keep detailed records, but that seems like it would be a major hassle for no benefit.

I've seen clamp on tuners, but they still include a ring(s) that adjust over a thread.

JayChris pretty much explained the problem with a slip on type tuner.

I could make a tuner that would also support a suppressor, but the threads on my tuners are not compatible with suppressors.
