    That is a newer barrel made in house by WC.

    ar15 barrel quality experience

    What kind of crown does that barrel have? Some time in the last few years Wilson started making their own barrels, their new barrels do not have 11* crowns. They have a flat crown with a 45* chamfer at the bore.

    Best ar-10 under 1700 ish

    For what use, hunting, target or just in case? I have a PTR 91 which is really more accurate than the HK91 I had years ago for a "just in case" Years ago I purchased a DPMS G2 to figure out how to make barrels and extensions. I tossed the ss barrel and used one of my own, installed a Geissele...

    ar15 barrel quality experience

    I would go WOA before Wilson. Holiger was one of the original 3 custom highpower barrel makers in the early 90s. Compass Lake eng, Derrick Martin at Accuracy Speaks and Holiger at WOA. They were the very first to make custom AR barrels. There is a difference between a highpower barrel and a 3...

    Blackstone Arms is taking over the barrel business, it may take a little while for him to catch up.

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    That is the same article I posted a week or 2 ago here somewhere. https://soldiersystems.net/2023/01/16/the-fn-america-fna-previews-the-lightweight-intermediate-caliber-cartridge-licc-individual-weapon-system-iws-developed-for-the-irregular-warfare-technology-support-directorate-iwtsd/

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    This NGSW program has been going on since long before 2019. Original tests were conducted with the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.8x51 and 308. This posted 8/2019 -NGSW "According to the solicitation, the duration for each prototype OTA is estimated to be up to eight years. The first 27 months will be for...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    He knew about them as well as Murray. Murray contacted me about making a few bolts to convert a MG42 to his 7mmUIAC. He was on the right track IMO, I wasn't personally interested in the 7mm but he had a good reason and knew what he was doing. You know how the military works, they take parts of...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    No, they aren't near popular enough yet but I would love to have one. They would need bolts, extensions and barrels to do a swap, then use the piston assembly off a donor barrel.

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    Yes I've been using it for years but I'm not that interested. I'm just here to kick the hornets nest. So the 6.5LICC and the 6.8x51 is the same diameter and the 6.5LICC is only .2" shorter, do you really think it's going to make a big difference in weight and size of the rifle and ammo or...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    This bolt that came out of my SIG is like the Titan bolts I made. It is very close to the KAC E3 which was made for the 5.56, I designed mine a little differently for the .441 case head. Titan is the middle bolt, Super bolts in 6.8 I machined is 2nd from left, 750XD and 800 series 4th and 5th...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    What happens when you change the density to match that of a steel core? ThenTungsten will be near twice as heavy as a copper jacket/lead core. How will that effect the overall weight and form factor?

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    Better send that to Berger and show them how to make bullets, as it is their 130 is the only one close to that.

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    But not in an AR, that makes a huge difference. This is how you do it if you want to see a Grendel or 6mm ARC in a military rifle. First off call Magpul and get them to design a mag specifically for those cartridges. Design an AR lower around those mags and machine new lowers but the uppers...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    Re: Hornady and issues- yes the .441/Grendel case does not work well in the AR15, the AMU tried it early on and found the bolts to be weak and the mags did not feed well. 6.5 Grendel mags are really just 6.8 mags with different followers. The military looked at it again after Alexander Arms...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    The bearing surface of a 6mm 95gr SMK is shorter than a 123gr 6.5mm. .515" VS .564" I've been a wildcatter since 1982 so I have tried many of these case sizes and calibers at different times and at normal 58-60,000psi. The cases have a case capacity of apx 42-45gr of H2O depending on the...

    So you think the 6mm ARC will burn out barrels?

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    It doesn't matter if it's a 130gr 6mm, 6.5, 6.8, 7mm or 30 cal if a 130gr at 3000fps they will all produce the same amount of recoil. It is easier to get a 130gr 30 cal up to 3000fps than it is to get a 130gr 6.5mm up to 3000fps out of the short barrels the military wants to use. If any of...
