Article from a recent engineering rag => http://dev.designfax.net/opens/article-view-dfx.php?nid=4&bid=123&et=featureart...

Full of mystic lore and intrigue. A story of a visit to the shop of Pope was one of my favorites growing up. Great to see there are still innovators trying to advance the art and science of barrel making.

Interesting read. If it is already the U.S. Army barrel of choie for .50 Cal sniper guns, hopefully it won't be long and one (or several) of the larger companys pick up on Fred's barrels.

Thanks for sharing that Hoot, good stuff.
