This follow-up video tests the impact of bore condition on accuracy at 15 yards using a P38 pistol with interchangeable barrels. The experiment compares a pristine barrel to one with significant wear. While close-range differences were minimal in a previous test, this extended distance aims to reveal if bore quality significantly affects bullet stability and terminal impact.

This episode of Gunwerks' Instructor's Corner focuses on improving long-range shooting skills through deliberate practice and equipment management. Instructors emphasize the importance of structured range days, practicing shooting from various positions like tripods, and understanding cold bore shot dynamics. They also delve into practical techniques for wind calling, using ballistic calculators, and developing instinctive aiming for hunting scenarios, advocating for consistent, high-volume practice with an emphasis on fundamentals.

This video explains how to assess the condition of a firearm's bore, a critical factor for collectors and shooters. It details a 1-10 rating system based on brightness, rifling depth, and edge sharpness. The presenter demonstrates how bore condition can impact accuracy, though less so at very close distances, and discusses how to interpret signs of wear like 'frosting' and corrosion.

This video provides an expert-level review of the Norinco SKS rifle, highlighting its similarities and differences compared to the AK-47. It discusses the SKS's fixed 10-round magazine, loading methods, and familiar sights. The review also touches on import bans, market prices, the critical importance of checking bore condition due to past corrosive ammunition use, and its historical significance as a popular export rifle, particularly in Vietnam.

This video offers a practical tip for maintaining the bore condition of a rifle. It demonstrates a method using tape to protect the muzzle from dirt and snow, which can prevent fouling and preserve the bore's integrity. This technique is useful for rifle owners who operate in outdoor environments and want to ensure their firearm's accuracy and longevity.
