Does anyone know if the Rem/Barnes 120 OTFB bullet is an all copper bullet of the same alloy as other Barnes bullets? I'm curious because normally there is a specific break in and cleaning procedure involved before shooting Barnes. I've been shooting the 120's along with other ammo from day one in m...

Nice looking shooting iron! I put together a carbine for my wife recently and had all kinds of problems with the first barrel which had a black nitride finish. I had to open the gas port to .125" to make the gun function with supersonic ammo. I wasn't happy with the accuracy so I swapped the ba...

I built a deer gun for the wife as a Christmas present and used a 16" SS fluted Wilson Combat barrel. I'm really happy with it. I've only shot Remington factory 120 OTFB's and handloaded Sierra 125 Pro Hunter's out of it so far but they both shoot very well. I'll try to post a pic of the target...

Greetings all! New guy here. First, I want to thank everybody who has posted their experiences here because it saved me some headaches with this build, not that I didn't have a few anyway. I decided to build the little woman a deer gun that was light and won't kick the snot out of her. I picked up a...
