new Omega barrel disappointment

[sabotloader]

wolfer I have had 3 different Omegas and one Triumph - all with QLA's. Two of the three Omega's and the Triumph shot full bore conicals just fine. All of them shot sabots and Powder Belts very accurately.

The problem stems from the way TC drills their barrels. Not all of the bores are straight through the barrel. They can come out off centered a small amount. To cove this up TC moved to the QLA which is drilled 'centered on the bore. That leads to the problem...


I tried to illustrate this with this drawing I created....

I think it explains itself...

Here is a pic of the QLA cut off and I think you can see how the bore would be off-set in the QLA

Hope this might help some - mike

Every gun I've had w/QLA has shot sabots very accurately, 4 Optima's, 3 T/C Firehawks, 3 T/C Black Diamonds and 3 Omegas.
have never had a problem with sabots and have never tried full bore conical in any of the guns either.
