Al Hadfield has passed


CYA friends:


I just heard that Al Hadfield has passed.


My condolences to the Hadfield family.


Now...............................



CYA friends, in my entire RFBR career, I successfully build two, 6 o'clock chambered RFBR guns.


One of these two amazing 6 o'clock chambered rifles, was for Penny Hadfield, Al's wife.


Penny took that 6 o'clock chambered, Lilja barreled Turbo, and set the IR-50 Meters outdoor World record...

And it was several years before it was broken.



My condolences to the Hadfield family........especially Penny.


Your friend, Bill gun fool Calfee.

PS:


CYA friends:


If I could have figured out how to cut 6 o'clock chambers in all of my RFBR guns, they all would have had 6 o'clock chambers....


But......................


I simply could not figure out how to successfully do them, 100% of the time...

Penny Hadfield, with her 6 o'clock chambered Turbo Lilja, set her Record in 2009


Her record stood for 5 years.

CYA friends, I tried every way I knew to cut 6 o'clock chambers successfully, 100% of the time.



Even my ole buddy Alan Hall called, one day, with a suggestion as how to do them...


But, I simply could not make it work.



See..................................



The absolute beauty of a successful 6 o'clock chamber, is that we force the CL ring to build in a specific location....


Then the CL ring becomes an asset to accuracy, not a liability.


Finally..........................



If there's an advancement that can be made in the way we chamber, other than perfectly centered, with the correct amount of leade engraving and a 100% fluid transition from the chamber through the leade and into the bore..


It's developing a way to successfully produce 6 o'clock chambers.



Condolences again to Penny Hadfield.


And congratulations once again Penny on that amazing Meters Record.


Your friend, Bill Calfee
 
Turning a liability into an asset

Turning a liability into an asset


CYA gun fool friends:


The CL build-up from the 22 LR cartridge is a liability when it comes to producing ultimate accuracy.


Is there a way to turn this liability into an asset?


YES



The problem is, it's almost impossible to control the process that produces a 6 o'clock chamber, so a schmidt can produce 6 o'clock chambered RFBR guns, at will.



I know, as I beat my brains out years ago trying.


The next advancement in chambering the 22 LR cartridge, for ultimate accuracy, will be when someone figures out how to execute 6 o'clock chambers, at will.


Your friend, BC
