A couple weeks ago my Grandfather showed me a Remington semi-auto 12 gauge that belonged to his father. It has a fiberglass barrel. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Chris.
P.S. Sorry for putting this thread in the wrong place before.
there is a guy in Cal. that makes them about 6' long and ports the last two feet. he uses them for pest geese, shoots farther and quieter, and is not a suppressor per ATF. its been in Popular Mechanics and Farm Show. He says its a take off of the Winlite style.
And it's not actually fiberglass, but a very thin steel barrel wrapped in fiberglass thread (something like 10,000 miles or some extreme length of thread).
I think may have been the first shotgun with choke tubes.
Every one I've seen, which isn't many, had a pretty battered looking barrel. They had bumps and gouges and generally looked awful, so I'm guessing they were pretty soft and easy to ding up in the field.
Watch carbon fiber in a lightning storm, [ it explodes if struck,] didn't know they made that barrel. Tom where did you get that blue furniture, that looks sharp.
It is a stock (other than the barrel) Tubb2000 made by McMillan. Came like that from the factory.
