    223 barrel muzzle thread option 5/8 vs 1/2

    Thought the same thing.

    223 barrel muzzle thread option 5/8 vs 1/2

    All my stuff is 1/2x28 so this would be a one off. Just looking to a really high end build and squeeze all the accuracy I can out of it. I've read that with the added steel around the muzzle when doing 5/8 it should increase accuracy due to less expansion as the bullet passes through that area...

    223 barrel muzzle thread option 5/8 vs 1/2

    I'm going to go with something from compass lake, looking for advise on AR15 223 Wylde threaded in standard 1/2x28 or the 5/8x24. This may host my AAC M4-2000 which from my research all their brakes in either 223/308 will work with my can. Is there any real word noticeable difference in...

    Noveske SS borescoped (new toy)

    Thanks. I already have a JP bore guide. I've never used the pellets but use a 22 patch on a bag all the time. I'll have to order the additional supplies. I think I need a new cleaning rod as my Dewey is female threaded and I don't think they make them like that anymore and would prefer a tipton...

    Noveske SS borescoped (new toy)

    Hard to tell from that pic. I think I was looking at the groove instead. OK someone needs to teach me on what JB compound is used for what. So the cleaning compound has no abrasives and is only for cleaning. The polishing has micro-fine abrasives and will help polish up everything, is that...

    Noveske SS borescoped (new toy)

    So this is my 10.5 Noveske SS barrel that I run on my AR which I shoot suppressed. This was put together back in 2006ish time frame I believe when they didn't offer CL barrels. Am I looking at this correctly and see some of the lands which look to have some sort of grooved lines (like crack...

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    OK guys just got back from the range. Unfortunately I only had a few rounds of some of my brothers hand loads and I didn't have much time so I only did 3 round groups unless noted otherwise. I know it isn't the greatest but the are pretty consistent. Federal AE 223 Red Box (10 round...

    16" AR barrel needed for best accuracy but general purpose

    I'm in the ES range of the average. I'm seeing 2-4" groups; granted without a real scope. I just hear people complaining about BCM barrels. Paying high prices for garbage accuracy because of the name. Again, at the time, it seemed like the in thing to go with. But ya, I think 3" average...

    16" AR barrel needed for best accuracy but general purpose

    I'm happy with those groups using match ammo. With red box federal AE223 I had 100Y groups at 3.1" and 3.7" and I'm sure XM193 will be way worse. I guess what I'm asking is what is a good average on standard military ammo? This is where the barrel loses out I believe. It seems to do very...

    16" AR barrel needed for best accuracy but general purpose

    Here are some pics of the gun and targets at 50 and 100. It is a 16" BCM BFH (CHF) barrel with a TA31H ACOG. These were the best targets at 100. There were others with non-match ammo that were well over 2-3" at 100. Looks like my average with BHBB 55 and 75 is right around 1.4" with an ACOG...

    16" AR barrel needed for best accuracy but general purpose

    I'm going to head out to the range shortly and take some garbage plinking ammo along with some BHBB 55g and 75g MHP to see what the BCM barrel can do at 50 and 100 yards with my 4x ACOG benched.

    No it doesn't. Inquiry-Form At the moment you cannot place an formal order directly of this website, please proceed with your Inquiry.

    Doesn't look like you can order barrels directly from them from their website.

    16" AR barrel needed for best accuracy but general purpose

    The barrel I have now, I know will withstand anything I throw at it, round count, heat, etc. I was curious if I can get better accuracy with added durability of a nitrided or a Criterion CL barrel. It seems like real world reports of Criterion are they are not that great on accuracy.

    16" AR barrel needed for best accuracy but general purpose

    I thought I would start another thread for another project. So I have a 16" AR that I built a while ago back in the panic days. It has a 16" BCM BFH (CHF) barrel which gets mediocre accuracy at best. I wanted something at the time to build as a SHTF gun, which can take mag dumps if needed and...

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to try and get back to the range this week, hopefully tomorrow and get some groups in. I do have another 16 build that I put together in haste using a bcm chf barrel and I wasnt too happy with it. I'm thinking of just doing another 16 upper but I want...

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    I'd probably do another 16" as I have one with a bcm chf barrel which isn't that great on accuracy.

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    Like I said I don't reload so the best I can do is buy match grade ammo. Asking my brother to hand load some ammo won't happen again. I probably have the skills to shoot that good a grouping but my current woa will not match that Krieger. I'll have to get it out again and save my targets.

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    Since I don't reload, my brother loaded me up some for a B-Day present. He used Hodgdon Varget (his multipurpose powder) and 77g SMK HP and did some of the following grains of powder. 21.9, 22.1, 22.3, 22.5, 22.7. I couldn't really tell the difference.

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    Back in the day I built a SPR MK12 MOD0 as close as I can get it. Since I was young and trying to save a few bucks and had a hard time finding some parts, I went with a WOA SPR barrel. Now I only mostly shoot at 100 yards because the range I go to is 10 minutes away and that is the max...
