My 3rd NBS barrel
I like nitrite finish on NBS barrels. I have an old S&W M&P with a 1-9" carbine barrel and wanted to switch it out for a new 1-7" midlength. This one is working perfectly. I used the NBS gas block and gas tube.
United StatesImpressive
After a lengthy 10 minute install. I went to the range and tried out the barrel and was astonished by the quality and accuracy for such a low priced barrel. Using various hand loads no group exceeded 3/4 of an inch at 100 yds . The largest group was 10 rds of standard military ball LC 1982 which printed 1.25 inches. All hand loaded tests were 10 rounds each,4 test lots using different loads and bullet weights. I am quite happy with my purchase.
United StatesAmazing for the money
So finally got a chance to sight the rifle in I bought this barrel for. BZO at 37 yards off hand no rest. Very good accuracy. Well only had about 75 yards to work with. It turned out a 3/8 group. With cheap white box Winchester that speak volumes to the potential of this barrel. Will add another review when I can test at longer distances with better ammo. So far tickled pink.
