I shot CCI Stingers for the first time on Saturday in my 1911-22-A1 and my SR-22...LOVE THEM!

I plan on upgrading the barrel in my SR-22 for better accuracy, but I'm wondering if keeping the sporting chamber, even if I do change my barrel, will nullify the accuracy advantage I'm seeking with the new barrel.

my plan was to get the 16.5" Dlask .920 bull barrel, but ask them to ream it to a sporting chamber rather than keeping the bentz chamber, as they don't like the Stingers.

would I benefit in accuracy if I get the new barrel but the more forgiving chamber?

thoughts?
 
Dlask does not make a chamber for Stinger.
CCI MiniMag as well as Blazer will work in the Sporter chamber
(but not in the X-Treme chamber).
Stingers will not work in any Dlask barrels.

If you are so happy with the factory barrel and Stingers,
then stick with that combo.
 
You could try the Remington Yellow Jackets in the Dlask barrel. Worked very well in mine. Even if they did ream a barrel out to a sporting chamber you'd lose the advantage of the bentz chamber and waste your money. Match chambers are tighter but are for bolt actions.
 
How many times do you people have to be told,
DO NOT USE ANY CCI AMMO IN DLASK BARRELS.

The only exceptions are the Dlask barrels that
are marked SPORTER (NOT Sporting), that will accept
some CCI ammo like Blazer, MiniMag, but not Stinger nor Velocitor,
and barrels with custom-made chambers (no longer offered)
that were tailored to that specific ammo.
 
It is the combination of the camber's diameter/length/angles that make it feel
tight, lose, short, long, steep, open,
that gets dirty easy, or makes it "self-cleaning",
that gives flyers with even the most consistent ammo,
that makes cheap ammo shoot like a champ, etc.

But also remember that in the Anschutz you push the round by hand.
If you find a way to put that barrel on a semiauto,
you may have different feeding experiences.
 
Hey Lector...being you have the experience, what all is involved in making for a chamber that is very friendly to the CCI ammo and maintain excellent accuracy.

No doubt it would take some gunsmith work on some action/barrel combo and I'm interested in finding out more about that. :)

the Stingers are dead on with my red dot scope while American Eagle, Blazers are all 2MOA below my zero. Also noticed just how much more accurate the CCI was as well.

if it's not really feasible...I'm okay with that too. I was just hoping for the best of both worlds...or at least the CCI world if I had to choose just one ;)

Theoretically, each CCI ammo can have a custom chamber tailored
for getting the best results that ammo is capable of.
But to have one single chamber
that shoots ALL and ANY CCI ammo accurately,
that is quite difficult even for a bolt action,
and an educated guess is that Dlask
will not offer a chamber for that stated purpose.

The reason for the above is the fact that different CCI ammo types,
have different dimensions.
For example, a chamber that will accommodate Blazer and MiniMag
(and shoot them accurately)
might have a hard time to cycle Stinger and Velocitor.
Whereas a chamber that will cycle and shoot Stinger accurately,
will cycle MiniMags/Blazers but without very great results.

As I explained, so far there is no chamber that would cover
the entire CCI family,
let alone to cover all ammo, CCI and non-CCI.
If there is such a barrel somewhere that claims that
it covers everything, then I want to see it,
even if it is from the high-end bolt action world.
Show me the teats... I mean the money... I mean the rifle.

As I said in another post in this thread, I still don't understand
why you want to change your barrel.
If I was you I would not change anything on that gun.

your point is taken. the reason for changes was to a) hopefully create a more accurate rifle and b) create a more aesthetically pleasing rifle. bigger barrel, compensator, etc, just because it looks good.

I just bought the Tac Sol compensator with a .920 diameter. I'll put it on the stock barrel and see how it looks, but I suspect having it on will look wrong, due to the barrel's smaller diameter. :rolleyes:

what other options exist then, for a compensator that will work on the stock barrel effectively, that is 'similar' to the Tac Sol device?

Looking good and being accurate are 2 different things.
They do not eliminate each other, but sometimes you have to choose one.

IMO, having a muzzle device
with a larger diameter than the barrel, does not look weird.

If your barrel muzzle is threaded, you can put a lot of muzzle devices,
but for rimfire guns I suggest you don't use one with side holes.
Lead, dust or otherwise, is poison.
Use instead some muzzle device with holes pointing forward.
That is "effective" for a rimfire.
Recoil is not a problem you have.

If you have a thread on the barrel,
you can use the LeVang comp (Brownell's and Alberta Tactical).
It has the disadvantage that it has no flats for wrench.
There are hundreds of people using the Levang on thinner barrels.
You can also use the Volquartsen bullet stabilizer.
