The prominent design of Tactical and competition weapons has been based on a free floating barrel design. In contrast to the former designs where wood and metal stocks created expansion and contraction conflicts with the action from temperature changes and humidity. This effectively moved the position of the muzzle in relation to the Scope or site. The harmonics of the barrel also caused movement when in contact with the stock especially on one side only. Exceptions to this rule where the Browning and MG42 Machine gun which were lethal in part due to the bearing at the muzzle end of the barrel restricting muzzle whipping. The fact is free float barrels have two major disadvantages. One is the tremendous leverage placed on the receiver to control 1- 1.25" of barrel clamped inside it while 16 - 24" hang on that thin wall joint. The receivers are made with at least .002" of play to allow the barrel to be pushed in by hand. which leaves at least .001" of play for it to shift either direction before deforming or flexing the thin wall of an AR receiver. .001" of shift in the 1" joint allows for 3.6" of difference in shot placement at 100Yards. This is why Lock tight is being used to help reduce this shift. While it can help it isn't exactly a fix. The thin wall of the receiver can also be deformed or flex especially if you drop it or with heavy barrels or from heat and cold. Since Aluminum Expands and contracts much more than the steel barrel the joint will get tighter or looser as it gets colder or hotter allowing movement. Ever wonder why you have to adjust your scope all the time these are some of the reasons. Recently you have seen a trend of Heavier receivers to compensate for these problems but this adds weight which we don't want to carry. Then there is Barrel whip caused by the vibrations ( Harmonics) from the detonation, and bullet traveling down the bore. This creates a circular rotation that causes a difference in shot placement. depending on the timing of the bullet exiting the bore in relation to the position in the rotation at that instant. This is why people work to find the load their gun likes best or called (tuning). Trying to time the exit consistently with the rotation. Sound complicated? Hell Yes! Add barrel warping as the internal stresses in the barrel steel make the barrel warp as it heats up and you see why it is so dang hard to hit what your aiming at every time you take out your gun. Now you know why your always re adjusting your scope. You thought it was just your scope didn't you? It may be or you can go through a dozen or more like we did before you find out it wasn't just the scope! SO what is the solution? Remember what I mentioned earlier about the Browning and MG42 Machine guns. After I had figured out what I needed to due to eliminate all this BS instead of fighting it! I learned it had already been done in a different way with them. SO how do we eliminate all the unnecessary BS from Harmonics, warping, and expansion and contraction and get back to the basics of shooting and good Ammo? Our new Patent pending Barrel Control System moves the position where the barrel is secured to the stock, from the receiver to the Muzzle. With the Newest light weight materials specifically chosen to with stand everything you would normally throw at it even in Combat. We have built stocks and receivers that secure the action at the muzzle so there is no leverage. They are much stiffer and stronger than the barrel as to prevent warping, whipping, and absorb all the Harmonics. This is also the platform for mounting the optics or sites so there is no shift in relation between where the scope and barrel are pointed no matter what the weather or temperature of the Action with in safe operational ranges of the Action itself! Our newest design also produces a dramatic delay and reduction in felt recoil as the shock-wave from the recoil has to travel down the entire length of the stock before you feel it. This allows the bullet to exit the barrel before you are moved. Easier to keep on target in standing or kneeling position, and quicker target reacquisition for that follow up if needed!
