I am registered now. Thanks Mike for posting my notes above. I might add that the only OSR like issues I am aware of came from over heating of a very lightweight medium machinegun barrel, the 19 pound M60E3 which actually had barrel droop after about 500 rounds. I know DR barrels get very hot, my 12 ga Birmingham SS shotgun certainly does. Maybe that is also involved???

Interesting you mention barrel droop and OSR in an M60. I hav seen barrel droop from a normal M60 after we decided to expand all ammo left via a burnt out barrel. And when it started to glow hot, I can vaguely remember that the glow was not even on the barrel.
I wish I had inspected the barrel afterwards - when cold.
