I’m a benchrest shooter and we are forever searching for the perfectly straight rifle barrel and chamber. Is this technology able to print a close tolerance barrel and chamber with threading ready to screw into an action? What kind of hardness ranges are possible? Been thinking about this idea for 4 years or so.

I knew Lou Palmisano and know what you seek.

I do not think the tolerances are there yet, but they are getting closer. A perfectly straight bore would be a massive leap ahead.

Been thinking about this for a while. There’s no such thing as a perfectly straight barrel...that’s the holy grail for benchrest.
