Project HARP used some 16-inch, Mark II, Mod 1 barrels for high altitude projectile research. At least two of these barrels can be found at the abandoned Project HARP research site in Barbados, near the eastern end of Grantley Adams International Airport. Another complete HARP gun, made of two 16-inch barrels, is at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona.
Barrel nut Attaching the barrel to the receiver using a barrel nut and a barrel with a shoulder is an alternative to action threads, which has been used in firearms such as the Sten gun and AR-15. Hand tools Quick barrel change systems is an increasingly popular alternative, as seen in for example SIG Sauer 200 STR, Roessler Titan or Blaser R8.
The original patent filed by Hermann Gerlich in 1932 [6]. The squeeze bore concept was first patented by German inventor Carl Puff in 1903 [7] [8], even though the general principle was known already in 19th century and later applied in lighter fashion on Armstrong guns, on which only the muzzle yet not the barrel itself was of slightly smaller diameter (to cast off the sealing leather-bag ...

The .277 Fury SAAMI (voluntary) MAP chamber pressure of 80,000 psi (551.6 MPa) enables a 135 grains (8.7 g) projectile muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second (914 m/s) from a 16-inch (406 mm) barrel. [1] [10] It also means that the .277 Fury is normally chambered in small arms that are capable of handling the accompanying bolt thrust safely.
The .280 Ackley Improved (.280 AI) was the result of the .280 Remington case modification by P.O Ackley, who pushed out the sidewalls at the shoulder to near parallel and steepened the shoulder angle to 40 degrees in order to increase powder capacity, thus along with increasing the allowable pressure, resulted in increasing the bullet initial velocity by approximately 100 fps.
