Accura Problems?
 

Well Ill be ordering my first muzzleloader tommorow..its either going to be a SS Accura or a blued Omega.I was dead set on the accura after all the great reviews and groups people were getting but I read of a cracking problem on the modernmuzzleloading forum.Where there were small cracks in the barrel weld.Was this proved to be only cosmetic or was it really cracks?I dont want to be worrying about it everytime I shoot and have to check it every shot to make sure it didnt crack.So then that kind of made me shy away from the accura and think the omega is the better choice.Any input on the possible ''cracks'' would be great.Also is there any down side to the omega?

There is NO weld on the Barrel of the ACCURA, they use a (Dove-Tail) to attach the stud to the barrel that attaches the barrel to the forarm. Where did you hear of barrel cracking problems with the ACCURA, from TC????

I searched ''accura'' on the modernmuzzleloading.com forum and I think on the 2 or 3 page there are pictures of what appears to be cracks and thats what the owners of those accuras thought as well....I beleive one of them sent it back to cva and got a new barrel back.

Modern Muzzleloading ... that says it all. A couple of years ago there was a guy there that claimed he got 3 consecutive Win Apex's that shot 10 in 100 yard groups. Talk about UNLUCKY ;).

Well, judging from who was involved with the conversation it sounds like there is some cracking going on... unlucky lot there at Modern Muzzleloading.

I didn't think White made a break open rifle . . .

BTW. The cracks in UC's rifle look to be caused by recoil lifting barrel. There must be some play and it hammers the weld when he shoots them 500 grain conicals.

Where exactly were the cracks suppos-to-be???? There is a weld on the Barrel where the barrel attaches to the receiver. Do you have any pics???
