    does anybody know the manufacturer of the mrad barrels? Are they cold forged? or lapped? How is the quality compared to other precision rifles? Is it possible to let manufacture a custom barrel, with a caliber what is not offered by barrett?

    The reason is i do not use copper or red brass bullets. I only use nickle plated bullets. I dont like a pre-fouled new barrel. Dont ask me why .. ?

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    I dont think so. First, i only did this once because the barrel is nearly new. Its recommended to clean a barrel chemically when its new, or if the rifle doesnt shoot accurate any more. In my case i cleaned chemical with several solvents without success. There was still some colored material...

    Now here is the barrel cleaned with J-B bore compound. I must say, all of the copper and even nickle is removed. Two times about 20 strokes forward and backward. Here both views.. straight and 90 degrees with the borescope. And also you can see the crown with a high resolution.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    There is no solvent for nickle... i ve studied all. But Nickle coated bullets leave near nothing in the barrel. So you have much much less cleaning actions. For copper i use Eliminator. For Nickle i take J-B compound. I will scope the barrel next days when i am back home. The rod guide from...

    yes that looks like nickle on copper. Nickle can only be removed machanically, right?

    By the way, to the topic of the point of impact shift in case of barrel change... here the todays answer from Barrett: If you are installing the exact same barrel within just a few minutes, and all conditions have remained the same, then the impact shift usually is less than 1/2 MOA. If...
