Epoxy around the Barrel?

Brian46 said:
exactly, so why do people feel the need to bring up in discussion of the XCR that it does what it was designed to do when it never made it to the role it was designed for? Attempting to justify an inherent problem with any rifle by saying it was good enough for the purpose it was designed for is false when it never made it there and the civilian market was settled on instead.

You just don't get it. Just because it didn't win the trial doesn't change what it was designed for. How hard is that to understand? And why are you calling the accuracy a problem? This style rifle was not designed with accuracy in mind. What they cared about was reliability and ergonomics and modularity. they nailed modularity and ergos, I've never owned one so I can't speak for reliability. So seems to me they accomplished what they wanted. I'm sure you still won't understand though.

Brian, stop back peddling. YOU are the one who starts these arguments with your passive aggressive pokes in XCR threads. You are the one who baited the inevitable with with your tongue in cheek questioning of what the intended purpose of the XCR was. Quit trying to be this impartial bastion of firearms research. You're a troll plain and simple.

The accuracy was mentioned as a problem by others, look back at what started this thread, the topic is fixing the accuracy problem.

If one doesn't exist the thread should be deleted no?

I started this thread with trying to fix a percieved accuracy problem with a rifle by gluing the barrel to it?

Do you see me defending various brand rifles I own or have owned on this forum for several pages at a time changing nothing about the rifle or anyones own experience......no, so who is trolling who?

Once again you need to fix your reading skills. Never did the op say he needs to fix an "accuracy problem" nor did he call it a problem. He asked if he could increase the accuracy in his rifle.

do you try to increase things like accuracy if you are happy with it in the first place?
 
I didn't say you started this thread however you commented asking what the intended purpose of the rifle was with full knowledge of both it's intended purpose and the reaction your post would create. So....you are a troll by definition.

Of course I do. What kind of question is that? When I buy a rem700. I'm sure I'll be very happy with the accuracy. But I still plan on upgrading the stock getting a new trigger anything I can do to increase the accuracy to its max potential.

But I guess the rem 700 has an accuracy problem because I want to increase the accuracy a little.

you are not happy with it if you are making changes to increase it's potential. You could buy a different rifle with the potential you end up being happy with from your modified 700 straight out of the box.

I can understand if you like fiddling with things to make them your own but then just say it like it is.

I asked what someone "believed" the intended purpose of the rifle was when he stated he didn't believe the gun was inaccurate for it's intended purpose. Not what RA had designed it for or what it has ended up being after it was rejected/trials cancelled and put for sale on the civilian market.

On the other hand it'd be an interesting experiment, if anything just to put to ease the question of the barrel retention system contributing to "inaccuracy" (I put quotes around that part because I don't believe the gun to be inaccurate at all for its intended purpose). I do believe I read on here that one guy (one of the vocal anti-XCR guys) supposedly tried epoxying his barrel without favourable results... maybe I misread though.

You know what I mean. Dudes' been tire kicking forever. I wasn't referring to the time it takes to get the weapon reclassified alone. By the time he decides what he wants, buys it, orders the barrel, receives the barrel and gets it is reclassified, it could potentially be years! Just busting his chops.

Sorry, I gave up bustin his chops a while back. Wasn't sinking in ;)

Stop arguing with him. See how fast his post count is rising from all this banter? He's going to pass me soon ;) lol

you were the one telling me to buy a parts kit with no guarantee of anything other than taking my money and buy a used ACR from the EE which was overpriced, sage advise.
 
People like tinkering and improving their guns, I think that's what this thread is about. Personally I'd never epoxy a barrel to a receiver of a black rifle thats already accurate in its intended purpose. Just as I wouldn't try to turn a Mini 14 into an F-class gun. Others obviously disagree, evidenced by people buying high end custom barrels for various black rifles in pursuit of higher accuracy. Whatever floats your boat.
