Has anyone bought and chambered a Anschutz 22 barrel blank from Gun Parts? Thanks, nilebartram

Might try RFC for some opinions

Yes, I have done several. For general use they are really good. The problem is that they are way too short for really high level competition. You can shoot great 5 shots groups but when you start shooting a 25 record bull target you suffer when the wind changes even just a little bit. My best ever 5 shot group was out of my 40X with one of these bbls, .059" ctc. My best RBA target was probably a 238 to 240 where you need 248 or better to be competitive.

Also, they are 1.250 straight cylinder and turning one down to a usable size is a swine of a job. They do have choke. I learned a great deal about building a good shooting RF with these bbls but once you get to the higher levels of performance you need a 24"+ with fewer grooves.
