Ro6.5 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Can anyone help I was wanting a hardy gen v moderator to fit a varmint barrel (0.890 at the muzzle) but the internal radius of my currant hardy v is 0.875 do hardy make a moderator for a heavy/varmint barrel with a larger internal radius? enquired with my gunsmith and he seems to think not. I was wanting to save some weight and go for a lighter/shorter mod! has anyone any advice or alternative options? Re profiling the barrel was one option but a bit drastic! Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzar15 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I bought a Barrett 338 last year that came with a Hardy mod....no internal bush just machined with the minimal clearance to go over the barrel....must be that there is no room for a bush but seems to work fine ,doesn,t appear to mark the barrel either....

Offroad Gary Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I had a gen 4 m18 thread, internal clearace was 22mm and it brushed my barrel. Riflecraft had ones in stock with a larger clearance but you had to ask specially for them, the 22mm ones even brush a factory sako/tikka/blaser varmint barrel which are what the m18 ones were sold as being for. Use a jetz now, the hardy was light/short but it was very loud and didnt reduce recoil much. I wouldnt have another or deal with riflecraft again.

Cumbrian 1 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I use a hardy on my heavy barrelled 6xc and have no issues with the mod touching the barrel, however as pointed out the jet z does reduce the recoil and noise more than the hardy. My 6xc is used for a bit of informal range work and stalking, it is light and doesn't add much to the overall length but I am not sure how it would stand up to heavy use i.e. long shot strings.

How heavy is your barrel? What diameter is at the rear of the moderator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
