    Another fun job is building one from parts. Before I was done, I believe that I had bought parts from over 10 different folks/companies.

    Did buy a Grand barrel at a shoot a few days ago.

    Timing

    I always had a terrible time keeping that .50 timed right...

    Now they're done complete and you just quick change the barrel. That changed for us in '96. FN came out with them. Fit the barrels to the gun and use the FN ammo and you have no problems.
