@rj You said that “When you made” Does this mean you made your own vs buying it from Ernest? Guess I’m asking what the Ernest’s fits like, as it’s not available for the .177 & that’s what I have. Looking to rig mine.

Did the Ernest CF liner treatment
- Thread starter Glem.Chally
- Start date
I think you could do that temporarily to try it if you wanted.
I used a construction adhesive called PL premium spread some on then used a nitrile glove to spread it around and make sure theres no dry spots. It's a relatively snug fit on the liner and about the same inside the barrel house. Nothing rattles around that I've seen.

My 22 liner is just a hair over 8mm. I just ordered 8mm ID carbon fiber tube off of ebay. I took 80 grit emery cloth on a dowel and made a flapper wheel of sorts to open up the tube a little bit. I made the fit so the carbon fiber tube would slide down over the liner under its it's own wieght. I wanted enough clearance between the two to assure even coverage and bonding.

This is not related but yes could be a related story.
Back in late 70's - early 80's at my place it was a big euphoria (fashion, interest) the young folks were competing who can build better sounding loudspeakers from parts (at that time in EU we were buying the most high end components from printed collor catalogues). I was playing with Dynaudio parts (I still have a set here today) and experimenting with dual boxes (inner and outer box) w walls in between, different wood and speaker box shapes, and to make the story short....filled the gap between walls with fine brass powder, or silicon sand was way cheaper...to dampen the amplitudes caused by frequencies. We could run 500 Watt amps and you touch the speaker and shall no feel any vibration and nothing from floor, only the nails were pushing out from parquet
. (btw today everything commercialized, my son almost bought a vibration dampener for a subwoofer for $500, I almost ended a relationship...newb ...and I built him a low floor stand).
Anyway, at that time were no internet/CF/high-tech epoxies/materials, we were figuring it out.
May sound stupid today to say, if you want to stop the oscillations in the liner/barrel either fill the gap with anything fine grainy or build it from a solid material, like ...graphite brass.
But we live now in different world, internet can/and will sell just anything
btw sorry for hijacking
