Maybe I'm OK with this current barrel

[painter777]

I posted about a WRA barrel that was listed for sale.
I have some extra barrels but all only show early band use. 3 Rock Ola, 1 IBM and 1 Saginaw.
Just doesn't seem like a good idea to swap one of these for the BA Blue Sky, when I have other more accurate shooters to pick from.
But after further thought and looking at the last target pictures of my shooting results with the BA Blue Sky barrel on a S'G' shooter I have...... Maybe the BA is good enough, at least good enough for out to 50 yrds. Since punching these targets I put a different recoil plate on it that gave it better lock up and improved the barrel hang above the channel. But I haven't tried it since I swapped the Recoil plate.
I do recall the morning I shot these targets was a 'Shaky' day. Maybe too much coffee or my meds kicking in at the wrong time... IDK

I posted about it here before, along with these pictures. I purchased this for $400 unseen. It was described to me (No Pictures) over the phone by my ex Field Supervisor. He'd met a Gal and was in the process of moving to the St Louis area. It was offered up by a young guy he was working with while in Missouri. I overheard another worker offering him $250 for it while we were on the phone. I told my guy I'd pay $400 and if he got it any cheaper that he could keep the extra $$ Plus I'd give him a $100 for a finders / Delivery fee. He delivered it on a return trip gathering his belongings for his move. Said $400 covered it all. I figured it was at least worth $400 just in parts, even with the BA Blue Sky barrel on it. I can say it's the 1st Carbine I'd seen with a Cast hammer in it. I remember a Stan Pro bolt but don't recall much more about internals.

Maybe this year with a big piece of cut Rosin Paper with a target on it I'll see what it does at 75 and 100 yrds. I'll try if the range isn't too busy

@50 yrds before shooting target number 3 I lowered my hold and set the 3" Bullseye on top of the frt site blade. Like a golf ball on a tee. Compare #3 to the higher holds on 1 and 2

** What do you think... Good enough for out to 50?

I found some past posts where I included these pictures. In one it describes the morning I'd had. I'd forgot about it seeming like it was shooting tighter groups as the barrel got dirty.

Cheers,

ETA: I just purchased my first ever Recoil Check (F in Oval) from Eddy. Always wanted to play with one but was concerned about finish wear on / around the barrel / Frt sight. That wouldn't be a concern on this one.
