Hey guys,

I've become pretty obsessed with tight groups, and have found on these hot summer days, not matter how long I give my barrel to cool between shots, she gets pretty darn hot. I also notice my group sizes opening up as my barrel gets hotter and hotter. Yes, I wait a minute or so between shots, but the sun, heat and shooting collectively make things hot.

Which brings me to a chamber chiller. I like the idea of the "Chamber Chiller" over the Magnetospeed option as it's so darn quiet.

Where can you buy these in Canada??? The manufacturer doesn't ship to Canada....

They were not interested in shipping to Canadian dealers either
 
:wave: all have been spoken for. Thanks guys :wave:

I have some that I made for me and my shooting buddies. Just never got around to trying to sell them. I bought about 25 fans out of China and there were extras.
They are 3d printed and use a 5 volt fan. The power comes from a usb power supply (battery pack for charging phones etc.) that you supply.
If any of you guys want to give one of these a try I would be willing to give 5 of them away for the price of shipping to you. Just please give a review and let me know if there is a demand as I could always make more.
There are 3 sizes to choose from.
Small is for .223 sized cartridges and will fit in the ejection port of Ar type rifles as well as most bolt action.
Medium is for .308 sized cartridges. So 6.5 Creedmoor and the magnums, These will also fit the AR 10 sized ejection port.
Large is for the big magnums of .338 Lapua and similar sized cartridges.

FYI shipping will be about $20 each.

We have a few RIFLEKÜHL coolers left in stock
They aren't on the website as we haven't had time before they usually sell out. Send us an email if you would like one.

Nice design. Like the USB power pack idea as well
 
I have seen an argument both ways. There is an article somewhere I read that said NO they do not work. Temperature was measured on the outside of the barrel and never took into account inner cooling.
I say they work. The heat inside the barrel after shooting sits and radiates with nowhere to go. If you introduce an air current you move the hot air out and allow more efficient cooling of the bore. If you ever blow on a hot spoon of soup to cool it down it work on the same effect (I believe, im no scientist)
 
Does blowing air through barrel help? Yes I would say so. But if you are finding barrel to be that sensitive to heat I would say it is a barrel problem. F-Class shooters use heavy barrels for that reason. When barrel gets hot it wants to warp, some will just never remain stable as they heat up, some are fine as far as POI. Of course the thinner the barrel the bigger the problem. I built a hunting rifle from a take off target barrel ( 1.25" straight kreiger) had it shortened and re profiled to be only slightly heavier than factory hunting barrel. It will put 3rnds touching at 100m, but guaranteed to put 4th one out of group.
 
I made one from a D size battery operated live well aerator and a piece of 3/8" pex line. Works great and cost me about 15 bucks. You can barely hear it running and I've left it on by mistake more than once. It doesn't move a pile of air like a compressor, but pushes a nice ready flow.
 
Wouldnt a wet towel laid over the barrel chamber and a few inches forward draw a lot more heat from the barrel than a small fan can displace. Barrels on water cooled MMG's have always lasted longer than the aircooled ones. Why not just use a light water mist from a hand sprayer? I have cooled race engines down pretty quick by spraying a water mist onto the rad exterior.
 
I have a medium size bottle (old fire extinguisher) of CO2 with a valve and some plastic tubing... I shove the plastic tubing into the chamber and open the valve slightly and let the cold CO2 go through the barrel and out the muzzle. It seems to cool it off fairly quickly.
