Being a traditionalist, the rifle is not to my taste but considering just how many folks out there that will just have to have one simply 'cause it's different, I'm sure it's a good move on Rem's part. I don't see how a triangular barrel would be more or less accurate than a round one. In fact, the harmonics would be interesting. Maybe some of you folks that know a lot more about that sort of stuff can conjecture what will happen when a round is fired. It would seem to me that the stresses would tend to dwell at the corners of the triangle. Would this be a good thing or a bad thing?
How hard will it be to mill the barrel, cut the muzzle brake (damn I hate those things), cut the chamber, thread the barrel and still have things line up right when you thread it into the receiver?
