Lowlight: thanks for the pic as that inspires some much needed confidence. Do you happen to know if it was a factory LMT barrel or a conversion? If it's a factory then it looks like he figured out how to make it shoot by loading long. I don't like the fact that it was single loaded but I...

ETA: I'm going to give it another try and dump some $ on a known quality .260/6.5 & conversion and spend some time withit. If it still doesn't perform, I'm gonna part ways. Which will pain me deeply knowing all the labor I put into it. But, I'm expecting it will shoot great with a good &...

I hear ya. If the market wasn't so buyer friendly right now, I would probably be in the same boat at you. I'm willing to "sacrifice" a little reliability (I.e. GAS) for some more consistency. It pains me because of LMT's great rep. but I blamed myself and made every excuse in the world to why...

I don't know if there are any identifying marks or not but mine was manufactured a good while before they made the switch. Although, I bet that there is someway of telling. My CL has the words ingraved in front of the gas block at 12 o'clock. My most recent stainless was engraved in between the...

Eta: also, if your barrel is a newer one, what kind of consistency are you getting group to group. Have you ran that barrel on elfsters challenge? If I recall correctly, you have had your MWS for a long time. I think I rembee reeding your posts whenever I was getting ready to buy mine. I...

Problemchild: I'm happy to see yours shooting well. My SS would print groups like what you posted but not in any consistent fashion. Question: how old is your barrel? I'm just curious if it's an older Rock because those did shoot very well. When LMT was switching barrel makers I remember them...

That's exactly what i have planned as soon as funds allow. Will be great getting a quality blank instead of paying $600 for one from the DPMS reject bin. ETA: clearly an exaggeration. Just venting some frustration out.

Right. I really hope that your newer barrel is the "exception" and you get results worth your money. Considering ammo prices and the labor of reloading, it can get very frustrating.

$600 for a SS .260/6.5 barrel and they tell you "it's not match grade"....that's ridiculous!!! Love my MWS and my CL barrel but I have had nothing but wasted money and frustration with the MWS stainless barrels. I will never buy them again. And by seeing many others results is clear that the...

Thats some good shooting!!! BUT it helps back my theory that i've been thinking for a long time...That when shooting groups at 100 yards, it has MUCH more to do with rifle/ammo than it does the shooter. ETA: Elfster, i saw that you were in the DR...That place is awesome!!! I actually...

You guys keep mentioning only your vertical dispersion when shooting at extended ranges (500+). I understand the less the the better but what's the significance of only that dimension when trying to determine a barrels accuracy? I hope this doesn't sound like I'm being a smart ass, I'm actually...

Wouldn't an H3 be heavier than any of these? Also, it would keep the reciprocating mass properties.

Yeah, I look forward to seeing your results on elfsters challenge! If your on your game you might get the half MOA crown and the #1 spot with a .308 to boot. I might give that genisis upper some thought. This rifle has got me excited.

That's a badass rifle!!! Is there any other handguard lenght options or after market options (although I would hate to replace something on an HK with aftermarket, except maybe the trigger)

WOW!!! Those are some great groups especially for the first time out with a rifle and w/o tuning any handloads. Financially, this rifle isn't in the cards for me but I would love to get a barrel w/ identical chamber specs etc. and get a Pitts conversion for my MWS. Nice rifle!

i suspect that since you have an early barrel and it's accurate...it's a Rock Creek blank In the past year or so, i have routinely came across thread after thread on multiple different sites regarding the MWS's less than desirable accuracy with their SS barrels (CL barrels are GTG). i've had 2...

i started installing the barrel with the gun pointing straight up but i was not sure if i was supposed to lube the barrel extension/clamping ring area. i just re-installed my barrel last night and i know that the extension area is bone dry. Is this not correct? I remember a thread where...

I feel you. It's disappointing when ever you try to work up a load and the gun does not group like you expect. My 16 inch CL barrel has been very consistent and seems to prefer the 175 grain SMK. I've had excellent results with 43.9-44.3gr. Varget.

Elfster, Thanks for the info. No, nothing is taken in the wrong way. I actually wanted to hear that it was more than likely my inexperience then my tool. I don't want a tool that can't outshoot me. Honestly, this last outting was the first time I actually felt like I was driving the rifle half...

Yeah, It does feel pretty liberating not cleaning any of my semi autos. I will eventually clean it but I have noticed no downside thus far. I used to clean after every single range trip and meticulously. It would take me an hour to clean an AR. That's interesting about the torque wrench. I...
