I had decided to get my Omega QLA cut off to see if it improved my conical shooting.

However, took it to a gunsmith and he looked at it and said he wasn't sure it would help. The reason: They tapered the rifling back from the QLA since they could not crown them. He as able to take a 1/2 inch rod and put it down the barrel. It didn't wedge until it was about 3 & 1/2 " down the barrel! So he felt like unless you cut it back to the normal riflings, it probably wouldn't help.

Now I don't know what to do. It does shoot FPBs and Thors decent, but no other conicals, so I don't know if I want to risk doing this and it not helping or making it worse. And I am certainly not going to cut it off 3 & 1/2 inches.

What do guys you think?
