Paul had the original patent and the original is possessed by the Paul Wilbur Klipsch Museum in Hope, Arkansas. This is the same Paul Wilbur Klipsch who invented the Klipschorn in 1947 and other Klipsch Speakers. The Klipschorn is the worlds longest continuously made speaker and brand new ones are still available today.

I don't know why someone hasn't done this sooner...and it's a shame that Winchester/Browning quit making the BOSS rifles. Shooters (mainly hunters I guess) just didn't understand the benefit. I have had a Winchester Model 70 Stainless with the BOSS system for about 20 years. When I bought the rifle, I started shooting 150 gr Nosler BT with it. I dialed the BOSS to their recommended setting and shot a .5" group at 100 yards...and it has stayed right there ever since. To this day, it is still the best shooting gun I have ever owned. I take it to the range before the season starts just to check it. While other guys are shooting all over the place, I take three shots and go get my target. One time I had to wait for a couple other guys to finish up shooting before the range was clear and we could go get our targets. One of them had shot at least 20-30 times. When I pulled my target stand out of the ground, he said "are you done already?". I said "yep" and showed him my target. He said "man, are you a sniper or something". LOL! Anyway...I may have to try one of these on another gun. (Don't need it on that one.)

I have an A-Bolt II in .243 with the BOSS system on it. Absolutely still the most accurate rifle that I’ve owned. I wonder what caused Browning to drop it as an offering. I’m not even gonna go into to how many amazing groups that I’ve shot using plain Blue Box Federal ammo with that gun. Can’t believe they dropped it as an option. EDIT: Browning discontinued the BOSS after they were sued by several gun owners for hearing loss. The BOSS initially was only offered with a muzzle brake which the defendants claimed damaged their hearing. They offered a non ported model but when FN took control of Browning they canceled it altogether.

Do you think that would work as a tuner ? (so I dont have to remove the barrel out of the receiver--)

@fluxcapacitor05
@fluxcapacitor05 3 жыл бұрын
@@marcosmota1094 It involves barrel harmonics. I calibrates the barrel to allow bullet travel from the muzzle at the at-rest position. As far as barrel harmonics, the barrel allows potential vibrations, and the cartridge induces vibrations. When they constructively or deconstructively meet in phase at specified barrel lengths, it's called a harmonic node, thus barrel harmonics. You adjust the interference by changing the powder charge (usually), and you can adjust the length to match the node by moving the tuner, which acts as a ballast that virtual "lengthens" the barrel. There's lots of different factors I'm not discussing but the general gist is: interference wave = powder charge, node length = tuner. In layman's terms, tuners are basically just a way of rigging the system so that the potential in the barrel correlates to a "longer" barrel. Could also express this in terms of a ballast (or as a shift in inflection points) but you get the point.

I don't expect the average hunter to know anything about this stuff. To them, good barrel + good stock + good action = good shooting gun. But it's not good enough in PRS, where shooters typically cut hunter's groups in half at the minimum, and one shot group at the max. To get a greater competitive edge requires gaining a more intuitive understanding of what's actually going on and one of the largest margins to gain (and most frustrating) is barrel harmonics.

I am struggling to understand the mechanical/physics concept behind this barrel tuner. I can understand the idea behind changing the harmonic resonance of a barrel but simply changing the position of said tuner doesnt seem to me to change anything physically with the barrel itself. Now if you added spring tension inside the tuner itself, you are changing potential saved energy which could in theory effect the weight and harmonics of the barrel but even then it would be a change so small that I doubt even a vacuum scale could detect its change in weight. Hmmm maybe an idea worth expanding upon. Some old military service rifles would have a small screw that would put more or less pressure on the barrel affecting barrel harmonics, however this was achieved via pressure on the barrel via the stock. Just thinking out loud.

tbone martinez Browning Arms described their system as a way to change the timing of the barrel harmonics They claimed that you could change the timing of when the barrel harmonics were at their highest peaks in order for the bullet to leave the barrel when the barrel was at it’s most stable point. That’s probably a poor attempt on my part to describe it but I can tell you that it worked wonderfully in a factory rifle that you wanted to have great accuracy shooting different weight bullets. In a .243 like mine that’s a great thing because a lot of .243 guns will shoot lights out with light bullets but as the bullet weights get up to 100gr the accuracy begins to decrease. Before the BOSS was introduced, if you had a .243 that was like that the on,y option that you had was to change twist rates in your barrel to stabilize the heavier bullets. The BOSS enabled you to get great accuracy with most all weight bullets. The only downside was that you had to put the time and ammo in to find where the sweet spots were Browning gave you suggested numerical starting points but you still had to fine tune it to your rifle.

The basic mechanical principle is that the barrel is a cantilever beam, and when struck it will vibrate at a given set of frequencies, like a tuning fork. If you mount a mass on the barrel, it will slow those frequencies. As you move the mass outwards, it will have more leverage over the barrel, and slow the frequencies even more.

So If I'm shooting factory ammo... I can just find what ammo my gun likes the most and then tune for more accuracy ???

You would look for ammo with lowest ES and tune it.Having said that, you can tune any ammo with this tuner.

I realize u are an expert ,& I'm not,,but i have to disagree with the tuner,, i want my rifle to shoot the "EXACT SAME" Everytime,, i would rather tune my reloads or my trigger pull weight than change the harmonics of my barrel,, just my opinion, i know ur a better shooter than most of us,, but I'm old school, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it, thank you for the interesting video....

That’s why a tuner is important, so that the rifle shoots the exact same every time. Tuner puts the barrel harmonics in a “happy” place, which ensures consistency.

@Lucifer exactly, the tuner is designed to dampen or kill harmonics, at 1000 meter your pulse will affect your shot, you are a Marine you know this already so the tuner dampens the harmonics caused by the firing the peice

@@ErikCortina Erik, I'd really like to see a video where you "tune" a factory match load and measure the improvement. I think it is especially relevant given that 1/2 MOA is generally "good enough" for practical events like PRS/NRL AND...your tuner allows for the use of a brake which is pretty much a must have for this discipline.

🏳️ I understand the working of a barrel tuner better than many other. I know the science and the mathematics behind such a component. Apologies about my remark. I just like it to sometimes yank someone’s chain. Many guys think this is a quick fix for really bad reloading methods. I envy you guys is the USA because you can fit a new barrel within a couple of days. In South Africa it takes anything up to a year or longer to re-apply for the fitment of a new barrel. Then you must also wait for the newly imported barrel from Lilja, Pacnor, Brougton, Walter or from who ever the barrel can be imported from. Most of these manufacturers including Brux just don’t export to RSA at all. Then there is the issue of the right twist. There are 2 or 3 companies in RSA that manufacturers button barrels and one that manufacturers hammered barrels for the military. On top of this, the ANC Government is slowly busy to de-weaponize the public. We have a lot of politics and bureaucracy in between as well. Anyway I’m not really too big a 💩head, I can give and take humour in good spirit, mine just have a bit of sarcasm in sometimes. So cheers, although I have been reloading for 40 years now, I can still learn from you. 👍🏻
