Brownells USA Buy with confidence 17/10/2016

I bought this for a light weigh build. I put a 15" Midwest Industries rail with Daniel Defense fixed irons. I put a clamp on Daniel Defense low profile gas block as well. All in a shade under 6 pounds. Barrel was broken in with Black Hills 69 grain match BTHP. First 100 rounds after break in (50 round break) it shot 1.5 - 2" groups. Not bad but wanted a little more. After 300 rounds of all 69 match it shoots 3/4 all day long.



I shoot 62 grain Gold Dot bonded now and it shoots flawless 3/4 inch groups. Shoots about everything in the 3/4 to 1.5 range. The barrel seems to do well with 62-77 grain.



Mine was very well made with flawless finish. My only complaint as it has been noted was the 1-8 marking on the barrel was cut leaving bare metal. It does rust if you don't watch it. This is a patrol rifle that spends many days in the trunk of a squad. Hot in summer bitter cold in the winter. Barrel shoots the same at 90 degrees or 0 degrees. After 2 or 3 times of getting rust out with steel wool I covered the markings with fingernail polish. No problems since.



Good barrel for a light weight gun at a good price. I have close to 3000 rounds through mine now and rifling still looks great. Many rounds left to go down the pipe

Definitely recommended

Brownells USA Lightweight 02/07/2016

This thing is definitely lightweight. If you have a bumpfire stock, it can bump fire 22's with some technique (minus optics w/CMMG 22 conv kit). It is also incredibly thin. I was worried that if I did not have a thin handguard it would look unbalanced.

This barrel is pretty precise at 25 yards with 22's (plenty good for squirrels) and handled .223 ammo without any worry. It will kick a little more than usual, but that is to be expected. For me that was encouraged.
