Okay so in a different thread I posted a comment that I felt as a family/community we could put together a fund for Richard to get a new barrel. Richard has and continues to provide allot of information and load data for this board on our sml. Which helps each and everyone of us. As a token of our appreciation I thought it would be a good gesture to get him a new barrel along with sending the old barrel off to have it inspected to see what a 3000+ shot barrel looks like. As a thanks I'm willing to donate $50 towards a new barrel. My thought is once we have enough commitment on this thread we can send the money to Luke and have him send the barrel to Richard. My donation will be $50 please respond to this post on your donation for this fund once we have $460 then we can closer this thread and get Richard a new barrel. www.smokelessmz.com/brux.html

If Richard approves I'll go $20. He has done tons of testing, likely more than the rest of us combined. We may have to start a fund for Earnhardt too, he has shot hundreds of Match Hunters and experimented with bushing and flame channel sizes that many of us have adopted. I think he's ready to pass the experimental torch on to someone else.

I'll go $50.00 I'm not able to get to the range near as often as I would like. That saying he saves me a lot of time and money. I think it is only fair to show my appreciation. Just give me an address and I will send a check or MO if needed.

Thanks everyone who has decided to help out for the new barrel. So far I have added up
$280 for the new barrel which leaves $180 left. Once we have enough money committed the thread will be closed for the barrel. As far as where to send the money we can either send it to me and send one money order to Luke for the barrel or we can send the money to Luke either way is fine with me.
I'll get a hold of Luke tonight and see what works best for him.
I know Richard you said you didn't want a hand out but think of it as a Christmas gift from your smokeless ml family.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks everyone, if my math is correct we have met our goal for $460 for a new brux barrel for Richard.
I will get with Luke and see what he wants to do with where the money is sent and I will give an update as soon as I know.
Thais everyone for your support!
Merry Christmas! And merry Christmas Richard!

Man.........................I am overwhelmed! Please understand that I do this testing to satisfy my own curiosity and to spend the day with Herman and Bill. I can afford the powder and bullets as it is my hobby, sport and pass time. I also feel that passing on the information to everyone on the forum is what we should be doing? It would not do anyone here any good to have it logged in my book and sitting on a shelf. My thought is that with my benchrest experience and a little machine experience I can pass on good solid information that everyone can benefit from. Again, thank you everyone for your generosity and Merry Christmas to you and your families. Lets have a safe year ahead with no loss of limb due to a firearms related accident. And 78Riverrat.....................You should not have done this! But Thanks Richard

It seems the money is accounted for on the barrel. I will go $50.00 to Richard to buy bullets, powder or primers to test with.

I am in for 25 if it is not too late. I'm just now seeing this. If barrel is done paid for maybe some bullets can be bought. Thanks to all the smokeless scientists for all the experimenting. This board is full of great guys.

What about tax and shipping? I'll go $20.00 Don I still need to get with Luke been a busy night at work make call in the next hour or so. Once I get shipping and tax figured out I'll get that number. From what I'm seeing we should be good on the funds. Richard I realize it's a huge gift from allot of people who haven't all met face to face but in a sense we are all family. I would bet everyone here is more than happy to help a brother out. We are all happy to give you this gift.

Great idea.... and I was out when this was going on ...I would gladly put up 25 for bullets or powder or breechplug/bushing even though he has an everlasting one already.....Thanks Richard and Merry Christmas to all...Luke I will pm you about how to do this....
Richard , I was just about to bring up the loose spot in your barrel near the combustion area where a bullet will just drop down...how long has that been like that or has it slowly developed......?

How about a SwingLock combo sizing die (full form/smooth) for an additional $180? To go with the new Brux barrel.
I'm in for $50 total.
