    BAD BATCH of Compass Lake spun Kriegers

    Barrels are 18" SPR contour. As per Krieger the blanks are sent to Compass Lake and Compass Lake does the work including drilling the gas ports. I suppose certain folks order them certain ways. We will most certainly check these barrels meticulously before they're fired and as they're broken...

    BAD BATCH of Compass Lake spun Kriegers

    Look at the pictures close. It's both raised burr, and erosion. I have since borescoped several barrels. We just scoped another stainless 18" barrel with over 1000+ rounds that looked 20x better shape than this one at 45. So I doubt the next one will look that bad after a few rounds....as long...

    I spoke to Frank. It is a burr. Also that is normal erosion for a gas port with 3000+ rounds through it not 45 (according to Krieger who has also seen the pictures) ;) It may produce that kind of premature erosion if the steel is also bad. Bunny (Compass Lake for those of you who don't...

    Good point. But don't know what gas port looks like in the barrel that was shooting good the first few rounds. Those pics are of barrel #2s gas port that shot bad from the beginning.

    Ports should be drilled most of the way, but finished with a reamer then the barrel is finish lapped. This is the correct way to do it. They come finish lapped from Krieger and shipped to Compass Lake. So I'm not sure how Compass Lake is doing the gas ports.

    Those pics are after 45 rounds. I also looked down a Daniel Defense CHF barrel today and it doesn't look like this. That barrel has had 400-450 rounds down it. I too am skeptical of a bronze brush removing a burr.

    AR10 in 260 Rem - Build or Buy?

    LLRPF2 have you tried any H4350? My .260 bolt loves it. I've found it to be extremely stable and my favorite. I tried H4831sc but couldn't get the velocity I liked. I run 42.2g of H4350 in Norma brass with 140 Bergers at 2770 in a 24" Krieger 1-8.5". OP- you can't go wrong with 6.5 creed...

    Much appreciated sir! The scary part is how many have barrels were sold and shipped like this? Remember we bought our barrels several weeks apart. I hope it was only a few for the customers sake.

    I sent the pics to maggitas who offered to post the pics. Hopefully they will be up soon.

    I would surely leave LMT off of that list. :/

    I have 15 pics of gas port that can't post. Can someone pm me their email address and I'll get the photos to them if they can post them?

    Not cleaning technique. I have bore pics of the gas port on barrel 2. Can't post them now but they are interesting. Wes you are a genius. ;) Eta- gas port is damaged. Appears to be from a burr from drilling.

    Yes. Multiple ways. Multiple shooters etc

    BAD BATCH of Compass Lake spun Kriegers

    Yes will do. No problems. I just called this morning and they assured they were working on it. My goal it to get the quality barrel I paid for. I'm sure a solid .75 moa barrel is not to much to ask for.

    Confused with zero @ 100

    I think we have concluded that no bullet ever rises once it leaves the barrel...? Lol

    BAD BATCH of Compass Lake spun Kriegers

    Barrel 1 went to shit after 20 rounds. Barrel 2 was pretty much not shooting good right out of the gate. Barrel 2 has about 45 rounds on it now. We have pretty much decided its pointless thinking a 2+ inch barrel will become a .5" barrel by shooting it more. My other Krieger (not an AR) was a...

    BAD BATCH of Compass Lake spun Kriegers

    Several loads. Either it's shoots or it doesn't. These barrels, note I say barrels, as in plural are both having problems. I have called compass lake and the upper has been sent back. So I will see what they say at some point. They assured me they would make it right. But that was before my...

    MOD 1 upper OR del-ton?

    Stay away from delton.

    BAD BATCH of Compass Lake spun Kriegers

    We also removed the flashhiders, two different types by the way, and still no improvement. My guess is bad blanks and/or chambers were cut out of whack. Both guns group, then begin stringing vertically and horizontally. Yeah I know...it's a mess.
