Freaking laser beams!
On sale, this is a great value. Loaded with Factory Hornady Match 108 ELDMs, this barrel is more than worthy. My set up is very budget oriented, I definitely fought the basic PSA lower build kit’s trigger trying to get these groups, I kept pulling one or two. A better trigger will shrink the group further, I hope! Otherwise, these groups were more than satisfactory after only two box’s of ammo through the tube. I look forward to stretching out further, knowing it groups this well at 100. Awesome job bringing an amazing valued 6mm ARC barrel to the AR building community AR15discounts.com! If you are reading this and this barrel is on sale closer to $100, just click purchase!
