Just thought I'd drop a line about the last barrels you made for me, a howage 243 and a 35 cal for a 35 rem 95 mauser project. Folks are always fast to let you know when things don't go right but rarely tell you when things turn out real well, so I thought I'd [...]
McGowen, I just wanted to let you know that I ran my McGowen Prefit 6XC barrel to place 1st overall in the amateur division of the GAP Grind this weekend! I went into the tune up day on friday with only 80 rounds on the barrel. It sped up slightly after another 100 practice rounds, [...]
Just a quick update. I mounted the Savage barrel you made for me to a Savage Model 111 action. I test fired the .30 Hembrook Long at 100 yards. The attached picture is for a group fired with the following load data: Brass: RWS 9.3x64 resized to .30 Hembrook Long Primer: Tula NCLRM Powder: Superformance [...]
"...my buddy and I were able to get out and do some load development with our new McGowen barrels. Mine was a .338 Lapua and his a .300 WM. Both easily shot under 1/4 MOA. I attached a pic of a 3-shot group at 100 yards. Virtually all projectiles went through the same hole. Thank [...]
Just an update on my purchase. I am happy first time customer. Pic attached shows current progress in load development. In case you use this kind of stuff for other people to see. I probably pulled a couple of those which could have gotten me down to about .85” or smaller spread @ 200. Not [...]
I'm usually not one to post a review about products I purchase, but I felt the need to let you know how pleased I am with my recent custom barrel order. I own a Remington model 700 .30-06 I bought in early 90's that I never really got around to shooting till last year. I [...]
Dan, got a chance to test one your SS AR10 barrels in 6.5 Creedmoor.. Came up in March. This is likely the most accurate AR barrel I have shot. Was function testing for a customer with a start load... took 5 shots to get close to center. 5 shots on target and formed this group. [...]
Today Sunday May 6th was my first day on the range with my new McGowan barrel. I have lots a buddies that have bought many other brands of barrels, To there amazement and mine, the McGowan barrel while "breaking in" was shooting sub 1/2" groups with NO load development. My barrel is a 29" remage, [...]
I am from Victoria in Australia and I imported a replacement barrel for my Savage Axis in 308 through Meplat Firearms in South Australia. The barrel took 10 months to get to me with no fault to Mcgowan,it was our side that held the barrel up for so long. It was a custom Savage Axis [...]
