Crown Point

[nixcamic]

Hey, I was thinking about buying a 13-inch crown point barrel off of tunamart, and was wondering if anyone can comment on their accuracy, consistancy, and sound, and whether tuna ships to afpo boxes?

Thanks,

They have a nice metallic ring w/ every shot. Don't know if you will like that but it never bothered me too much. No less accurate than any other barrel I've used.

[SummaryJudgement]

You can use them to stab people who try to bunker you. Seriously, I've seen some grizzly wounds from crownpoint collisions :eek:

I'd be willing to bet that's got more to do with your gun/barrel combo than the barrel itself.

Maybe, I just thought that was how they sounded. I've only seen a few other people shoot a crown point and they all had a "ping" sound to them. It's been a few years since I used it but I remember it being a decent barrel.

no, the crownpoints are notorious for the ping.

Well, seeing as there is only one gun the crown point goes on, we may never know if thats true.

[peewee]

Yep the ping comes standard. The longer the louder the ping. my 8" isnt very load. I have had both the 11' & 8" , they both worked/work great.

[Thordic]

I love my 11" crown point. They do sound like tuning forks when you shoot them though.

[nixcamic]

Also, what is the bore on them, and is the barrel length the effective length, or the length from the beginning of the breech to the end of the points?

[Jonno06]

what are you guys talking about?! the crown point is the most accurate barrel ever made!!!!!!!!!! :ninja:








(for those who actually remember when the crown point came out, and the little fiasco behind it)

[thecavemankevin]

if i remember correctly several years ago Tom here on AO had some long scientific reason why the CP is theoreticaly the most accurate barrel.

does anyone remember that?

wish i could have 1 in cocker threads
:ninja:

I don't know about the 13-in, but I have an 8 and 11 inch. I shoot them on my Emag, my automag, and RT, and there is always the notorious "ping". But I like my barrels. The only reason I have an aftermarket barrel was because it was given to me. It is a CP, and I don't use it b/c I notice a serious dropoff when I did use it.
And yes, Tuna does ship to APO/FPO.

My 13 inch Crown Point is my favorite barrel of all time. It preforms on par with everything I have tried for my Automag (Dye, SP, etc.). I'm even thinking about buying an extra 13 inch and having the back milled to cocker threads for fit my ULE body.

[nixcamic]

Haha, that thread is awesome, I don't understand how people got so ticked over it though. Thanks for the info.

[deathstalker]

Strange, I've never used a Crown Point and all my 'Mags have had the ping. I've used LAPCOs, Freaks, and J&Js and they all result in the ping. I've also heard it on the field from other 'Mags that don't have CPs on them.

[hitech]

If you don't like the ping, put an oring on the end of the barrel. It dampens the tuning fork aka crown point.

:cheers:

does some 1 want to back mill 1 for me to fit my ule body? :rolleyes:

Did people? I'm pretty sure Tom came back and admitted it was all a joke, and offered free refunds to anyone who wanted one.

You have/don't/will never see that kind of company loyalty for the rest of your lives.

[hitech]

... and offered free refunds to anyone who wanted one.


And I was worried that I couldn't get the crown point for $20... :rofl:
