Default Barrel Testing

A few years ago a couple of our members collected old Parker barrels that had burst to condust some type of evaluation. Does anyone know what the results were of those evaluations or who it was that did the evaluations? Cheers, Tom

Dave Suponski was involved with that project but I believe the recipient of the barrel segments did not get back to Dave despite Dave's several attempts to contact him.

Apparently the gentleman that I sent all the samples to had serious family illness that required alot of his time. Actually that was the second time I sent samples out. I did receive some preliminary data from testing and hope to include it in an upcoming PP article. I haven't given up hope yet to complete this study.

I think we gave samples from the barrels that Dr Gaddy and I had sacrificed to Sherman Bell. Do we still have those barrels or what is left of them?

Harry,I never recieved those barrels. They may have went directly to the researcher.
