Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 2:44 pmReally curious to see how this goes. Are you going to break it down, or do it all as one piece?
Re: Next project
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 2:54 pmI'll break it down and do each piece separately.

Re: Next project
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 10:08 pmSpeaking of Perazzis, I sold mine.

Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 10:23 pmI like my XLR 5 the way it is but I would like to know how the Lion captured your attention ?
Is it rated for 1630 bars , also ?

I believe all FABARM barrels are, I know my Mag Lion is. Surprising seeing the XLR5 is only a 2 3/4" gun, very nice shooters from what I hear.
I liked the guns after seeing the DU gun of 2001, I bought it and had to get a few more.
Re: Next project
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 10:45 pmIt is interesting the lions internal parts are very close to the XLR 5 design , that's what caught my eye......thanks
With the Lion having a TRI-Bore barrel , how does it handle steel shot in larger sizes ?

Re: Next project
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 10:52 pmIt's thrown good patterns on bout everything I've shot through them.
Re: Next project
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2014 5:14 pmI wondered how well it would do with the tapered barrel , after talking with tengaokie and how devoted he was to the
HK SBE with the skinny barrel and his HG load of steel and the fab going from .740 to .725 bore dia. it made me think !
I'm glad that''s over though ! I like my over-bored guns better for steel shot

I've had an 835, Browning Gold & Silver, my FABARM will pattern with any of them. Never had a prob with the skinny bores.
Re: Next project
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2014 11:20 pmI understand , now you can walk the line in the middle as you have a half over bored and half skinny barred gun ? right ?
Just kidding , I've shot 1 oz loads and RSI 65 out of my XLR 5 just to see........worked great !

Re: Next project
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 7:38 amLoading my own, and liking lighter I'm sure has helped me get good patterns with the Italian guns. If buying ammo off the shelf from goose to turkey loads, the over bores are less finicky. My 835 would pattern any thing you put in it, regardless of pellet or payload.

Is that to etch the barrel?

Word on the streets is it will strip the bluing, we'll see.
Re: Next project
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2014 1:08 amOh, I was just wondering because we use it to etch galvanized sheet metal when we need to paint it.
Re: Next project
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2014 1:10 amWell hell, that might happen. 
Re: Next project
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2014 1:50 amThe vinegar is working.
