On second thought without having any conclusive information about this wildly looking FUBAR, I conclude that it is barrel art…

How not to flute a barrel.

I think I saw something like that in a Bugs Bunny cartoon once.

Once upon a time...




...but not anymore, cUz GuNs ArE bAd.







....as if cutting one in half with a scythe somehow sends a better message.

Agreed. Staged.... but still entertaining just reading the comments it envokes.

What I wanna see though is what the other guys nose picker finger now looks like.

Korean barrel?

Does that qualify for a free sbr tax stamp now?

 

[ROTORYWING]

good thing to scope cap was closed when they fired it

 

[titsonritz]

Kind of funny how the MD keep the ends of the barrel together and prevent them from peeling back.

Here is a second picture from the incident. The pictures seem to originate from a Dutch-German army site where they were obtained from "Mr. Bilgeri, Head of Development, Steyr-Mannlicher sent to HP Sigg, Tuesday 1 Mar 2005 10:07"

Translated, it goes on how bad longitudinal grooves are across the grain on hammered barrels and this being a fine example of that. Apparently, the rifle is military from the look of the uniforms and the 'read' of the website.

GunRunners had a similar barrel for display. The bore sighter was left in the muzzle and it did not end well.

Someone had an exciting day at the range.

I saw someone on NWFA recently asking where you could get barrel fluting done in the Northwest.Was that you? Where'd you get that done?

Are the proof marks still legible?

They decided to forgo the proof marks based on a split decision.
