I have a friend of mine that sold a rifle and the new owner of this rifle has started calling him and making claims...here is the gist of things.....he claims the rifle did not shoot good and when he took it to his gunsmith, the gunsmith told him that the barrel blank had been chambered on the muzzle end of the blank instead of the chamber end of the blank and in doing this, it now turned this right hand twist barrel into a left hand twist and that is the reason that it is supposedly not shooting as good as it should.
This is the honest to god truth...both the guy and the GUNSMITH are claiming that the right hand twist barrel has now become a left hand twist simply by chambering it on the "other" end and that is why it is not shooting well.
I have spoken with some VERY competent gunsmiths and when they quit laughing, they immediately answer "absolutely not"!! I guess I am posing this dilemma here for the "gunsmiths" on here that might chime in and hopefully the individual will read this and maybe learn a little something. Probably the best thing to come of this would be that he looks for another gunsmith.
Your thoughts? Fire away!
Thanks,
