RAW Rapid SUBMOA barrel on RAW HM1000x

Was ... following SKOUT with there using and marketing of the barrels, it seems there was equal disappointment being stated than satisfaction by those users who bought into the hype.
Hope your one of the happy ones and find performance / accuracy your expecting.
Not sure who or how SKOUT was machining the barrels, but there’s nothing wrong with the accuracy and hype of these barrels. They definitely shoot extremely well out of the EVOL’s.
 
@thammer , this is a hypothetical question ... so why would your barrel shoot any more accurately than any OEM barrel? I am not trying to be a wise guy but merely asking you to educate me from your point of view. Thanks.
With three grooves you are not compressing the lead at opposing sides deforming it as much. With opposing compression it is actually elongating the slug. I also use slightly more shallow lands so It also has less friction. That means less air is needed to achieve the same speed and that reduces the turbulence behind the projectile after it leaves the muzzle. It's one of the reasons many high-end PB rifles use similar barrels. The hammerforging process also produces a stiffer barrel that is typically more concentric to the bore and reduces the time needed to lap and polish since it's formed smooth around a mandrel.

Thanks for your response and sharing your knowledge. Can I assume that this theory works equally as well on pellets as it does on slugs?

Correct. It has proven to be equally accurate with both pellets and slugs. I have a notebook full of calculations, dozens of saved bookmarks online, and probably more than 80hrs of research were put in prior to investing the money to have a custom mandrel made specifically for TJ'S machine. I was an engineering major in college and spent many years drawing and writing cnc code. I didnt take the leap in to production until I had the proper testing and results that I would have wanted as a consumer. I have a business model that is based on a quote. "I would rather you be happy with someone else's product than upset with mine."
 
So what are your barrels currently available for? I’m eager to try one myself.
They can be custom fit to pretty much anything. AA, AV, BRK, Daystate, FX, Kral will be the primary barrels kept in stock.

EDIT:

RAW should have also been added to that list along with AF.

I will post up the results when I get the barrel Cranky.

I really like the feel of the rifle and want to keep it. But I have a few pellet guns already and I need another slug gun. So this will really make it a staple in my gun stable. Will make for one heck of a truck gun :D
So far my mora is my favorite slug gun. Mine is a 357 and I just got a 30 barrel, now I need a 25 cal. But maybe my wife will sell her lcs and get an epic and I’ll get her a hammer barrel made for Christmas.
