Top Notch barrel
Extremely accurate barrel! Hand lapped match grade, no break-in required. With good ammo shoots well under MOA. Had one small issue: small burr seen in bore at gas port. Removed gas block and de-burred - no problem. Glad I got it on sale, what a deal, very happy!
United StatesBuyer Beware! not OpsInc compatible
the barrel pictured will NOT work with an OpsInc collar because of that bulb lip as shown in the photo right before the muzzle. Those 10 collars are precisely made beginning at .750" and step down in diameter in .005" increments.
