USBA 18 barrel
Bought and got it CeraCoated looks great shoots even better paired with a Faxon BCG
USDid not want to give credit where credit wasn’t do, “BUT” ……..
I wanted to wait until I got at least 250 rounds down the pipe before I made a review. Now truthfully I could not get any projectile to group I have been building and reloading for at least 37 years and what powder charge and projectile worked best for me was Varget 24.0 grains and 75gr. Or 77gr. Matchkings with an overall of 2255 from tip to stern because I still wanted to use P Mags, I could have went a little longer with metal mags but I have a bunch of Magpul 10 and 20 rounders . Now remember when looking at the targets I Mag dumped as fast as I could not wanting to site in yet and using the center dot for an aiming point I am not done yet tweaking things but the Barrel does have potential. I lapped it when I received it with JB Bore past about a hundred and fifty times to clean up any burrs and when I scoped the barrel to my luck the gas hole is right dead center of the rifling groove not all are like this with production barrels it’***** or miss, using a Aero Precision gas block and the brass falls at 10:00 or 11:00 o’clock sweet.
USGreat product and service
Great fit and accuracy from this barrel. I think I’ll be sticking with BA from now on
