How to increase barrel twist

[Hinky]

Bit of a joke here at the expense of a mate who has no sense of humour.

We were talking random junk about shooting and him maybe building a .223 target rifle. He liked a few things but some had slower twists that wouldn't be suitable.

I said "I just left my in the sun to heat it up then twisted the hot barrel to increase the rifling twist inside."

He looked at me half comprehending for a moments before stuttering out "Oh yeah? How, um... I could do that....."

You're a gunsmith of the highest skill obviously

[Rocker]

He's new to shooting I take it

Use the force Luke: a bit off topic but it is my favorite ad.

Maybe Darth Vader could do something?

That's a valuable craft if you can turn your idea into reality Hinky

I can see how he'd fall for twisting the barrel to be faster for a few seconds.

Leaving it in the sun though, c'mooon

Gotta be careful cause newbies like me fall for it

Another day in the sun, twist it back. Problem solved

Or a pair of vice grips, that'll work too

Always one fool that'll take it seriously
