"If a person really wants to try the Accelerators, I see them occasionaly at flea markets and gun shows. I always heard the accuracy was definately lacking with them."

These "accelerators" were made for the guy that didn't want to change rifles or didn't want to buy/or afford another rifle for varmint hunting.
As stated the accuracy was rather poor at best but they had a nitch in sales market at that time frame.
