We built 16.1" 8x57 barrels for the Savage thread pattern. They are 416r stainless with a salt bath nitride coating. This particular rifle is going to get shot starting next week without any cleaning as a torture test.

We'll update on any corrosion that does occur as time and round count progresses if there is interest. None is expected, but we'll see.

Sidenote: a 16.1" barrel with WWII German s.S. ammo clocks at 2400fps, which is much less velocity loss than expected. A suppressed it is suprisingly quite a gentle recoiling setup and the sound is very pleasant.

This just started happening one day around 6 weeks ago without any changes to the site, and we're not able to chase down what is causing it.

Any ideas on cause and/or fix?

Here's what ChatGPT spits out when asked how to tune an FRT for use with a CMMG conversion kit. A customer called thoroughly confused and sent this in to us.

We've got a robust technical video library and resources page. We'd recommend sticking to our instructions before asking AI how to do it.

We're currently feeding all our tech pages into ChatGPT to attempt to help the algorithm give better advice since it's a heavily used system for questions like this.

If you decide to ask ChatGPT a question that is highly technical, we'd suggest including a link the the guide for the question you're asking right in the prompt. This will help keep the system from generating absurd advice like the above.

This 4th, get your A.S.S. to the range and shoot fast!
