barrel tuners

[The Profit Joseph Sith]

Interesting, very interesting... Ive kinda always wondered abiut these as well. Saw them on the Browning BAR as well (i think it was) years ago. And I believe Ruger has one on their newer "target" mini rifles as well. I think most people who know about electronic frequency and harmonics in general would agree theres a way to control them or "filter" them out if you will with the right controls implemented correctly. rubber band cracks me up, I wouldn't rule it out i hope it works... Would be nice if it was that easy. Wish i had more insight than just confirming theory. But im still young hopefully some day. I do have a kinda simple clever idea id like to try and maybe patent one day kinda relating to harmonics. (I need another CAD machine to play with)
Its not really a "barrel tuner" with regards to a adjustable weight but tensioning a barrel is yet another way to control barrel harmonics. Or shorten the amount of barrel prone to free vibration. All highly debateable, i preffer hand on experience. But many sound theories do pan out.

I know most hunters and target shooters probably just basic muzzle crown geometry without any "tactical" muzzle devices but it might be interesting to play with a tunable/adjustable weight or flash suppressor/recoil eliminator. And still have it clock correctly. Ill give you thay one for free...
