Black Arts barrel band for challenger SL .357

[gendoc]

anyone have this barrel band ? any reviews ?
i just ordered one for my AEA standard challenger .357 to be used with the barrel shroud removed.
i have tried 2 of the bison workshop bands and both broke at the thin band around the airtube
and was installed correctly.
thanks !

ok, since nobody replied to my question, i will state what i found out about the
Blackartsdesign.com barrel band for the AEA challenger standard .357 bolt action.
as mentioned earlier, i went thru 2 of the bison barrel bands and both broke while shooting.
my gun has been modified by the previous owner to produce up to 275FPE.
my loads are right at 266fpe and very accurate at my hog and deer hunting distance of less than 50yrds.
so, i contacted
David Bleakley, Black Arts Design to make a band for the standard SL in .357.
he makes one for the bigbore lever action challenger, but mine is the gen 1 challenger bolt action.
so he said he would and i just got it today and......its amazing !!! its perfect and i can group
jsb 81gr pellets in 1 big 1/2" hole out to 50 yrds consistently. which is perfect for hunting hogs and deer.
he makes a great barrel band for alot of PCP's check him out @ Blackartsdesign.com
thanks for look'n.....
