My dream barrel.....

My dream barrel.....


CYA pistol fool friends:


Here's my dream barrel for my DiOrio V-3 XP pistol of the future:


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


Are you sitting down?




I'd like Dan Muller and Paul Tolvstad to make me a barrel, in this fashion:


28 inch blank.....


First.......profile a one inch diameter piece of stainless barrel stock down to .810".......very uniformly, very very uniformly.


Or better yet, if the barrel steel makers make such a size, a 13/16" x 28" bar of stainless stock.




Then deep hole drill the blank.....and center both ends.


Set the blank up and profile it to whatever diameter it cleans up at.....or at least no larger than .800" diameter.


I'll accept it as small as .790" diameter...


Then normalize it....


Next.....ream, lap and button the blank...


Then normalize it again.....



Then ship it to me............unlapped....



Now......again are you siting down?




Do I want the rifling pattern to be the Corrugated 8?


No................



Do I want the rifling pattern to be the 4-MI?


No..............




I want the rifling pattern to be the Modified 4-MI.........



I'm as serious as death and taxes about this.....



I do a lot of dreaming......but not much working...




Your friend, Bill pistol fool Calfee
