Quick inexperienced questions.

i too have never owned or shot a rifle but i do know what some of the terms and things mean. (u experienced guys correct me if im wrong0

Barrel fluting is a process where channels are shaved into the barrel to increase surface area (too cool down faster) and decrease weight. downside is the barrel becomes less stiff.

I believe cold hammer forging refers to the process of heating the barrel up then cooling it down quickly then hammering it. this makes the barrel (or any peice of steel for that matter) more rigid.

As opposed to lands and groves (spiral) polygonal rifling gives the barrel a hexagonal (or octagonal or how many groves it has) profile. this supposedly decreases "blowby" around the cartrige, and prolongs bbl life and gives better accuracy (i say supposedly because the more accurate rifles ,tac ops comes to mind, use traditional rifling.

Match grade bbls are usually made of Chromemoly steel or stainless steel.

ive never been able to figure out what truing, lapping, and bbl contures (especially bbl contures) refer to

Thanks Max338 for the response, looks like I was right about those.

To make things easier for all you , tell me if i'm wrong about one of these;

Bedding the Action is supposed to create a more solid bond between the Action and the stock, resulting in a more accurate shot

The diameter of the average Match Grade barrel is somewhere between 1" and 2", depending on the weapon.

I have absolutely 0 clue what a Squared Action is.

Trueing and Lapping the lugs on the bolt is supposed to create a smoother action, creating less of a change in natural aiming point while reloading.

Here's to hoping for another reply.

Hi. I'm your good Canadian neighbor to the north.

In Canada, you can haul around a sword anywhere you please, or even a knife over 6 inches, as long as it is not concealed.

In Canada, you have to be 18 to acquire your FAC, and then, you need somewhere to store it (IE at home. I asked at a Gun Store if there were places I could store my gun, but apparantly, no. HAS to be at home). While I am over this age, I lack a house to store it. In fact, my current residence won't even allow for an AIR RIFLE, or even a CROSSBOW. So I have to move out first. Once I do move out though, then the fun can start, once sufficent funds have been acquired for both living on my own and a rifle.

In Canada, certain Rifles, and all examples stemming from them, are banned. Now when I say banned, I don't mean the American "Pony up 200 dollars and you can own it" banned, I mean the American "I'm not selling you a Tank" banned. There are only like a handful of receivers that aren't banned in Canada (H&k SL8, H&K SLB 2000, that's only from what I saw looking at the gun store, but there is a nice honking huge and complex list here on banned weapons; http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca/en/owners_use ... ts/r&p.asp ).

Another little fun Canadian firearms fact; You HAVE to have a planned travel route for your restricted firearms (Pistols). That means, in order to move it from A to B You need to file a piece of paper which says "I plan to move this from point A to point B". Now, in some cases, you have to file a SPECIFIC route, meaning ANY deviation, no matter how small, is punishable by fine, if not by liscence suspension. In other cases, you can file the permit with just point A and point B, and anything, within reason, is allowed. But if you are like 5 miles off? Screwed. Got lost? Screwed.

This has been "Fun Canadian firearms facts" with CM2k. :wink:

PS; I was planning on buying the SniperCentral rifle, specifically for the cheap post accurazied price, and the .300 WM. That and it shoots a 1/4 MOA with Factory rounds. I'd be hard pressed to replicate that, with my (And most Canadian dealer's) limited experience.

PPS; I suppose I am to the West of Muzzleblast.
