barrel

I am working on installing a muzzle brake (Precision armament m4-72) on my heavy barrel 308. I chose to get the PA accu-washer shim set to time the brake. I chose the one I thought was correct, but when tightening down the brake, I could not get it to index properly. Didn't use a torque wrench...

I was looking at getting a Savage 10t-sr in .308 from Cabela's, and one of the things I liked about it was that it had 5r rifling. On YouTube I came across a video of a guy showing that his savage 10t-sr actually had 6 lands instead of 5. He also commented on another video of a guy showing his...

Wife wants a light but accurate AR, so I will be building one shortly. The question is, should I get a Proof Research 16in barrel at 25.6oz (I believe) or have Craddock or CLE spin me up a 16in Bartlein that weighs about the same? In other words, which will be more accurate at around 25oz? Which...

I'm looking at Larue's Stealth barrels and I'm 90% sure that I'm going to buy one for my next build. I want to build my version of the SPR concept. Handy, accurate, and able to range between 25-600yds. At first I was set on a Rainier barrel, but the Larue barrels are slightly cheaper, and...

Hi folks, I'm looking to build a bolt gun similar to the EDM Windrunner/Nemesis Arms Vanquish which can be seen here: https://nemesisarms.com/nemesis_vanquish.html & here: http://www.edmarms.com/products.htm Their system looks great. I love that you can quickly swap barrels and return to zero...

Can someone help me? I'm doing my first ar build and I'm looking for a specific barrel type and I haven't been able to find one. The barrel I'm looking for needs to be a 20" stainless .223 wylde with a 1:7 twist as well as a 1/2 x 28 thread on the muzzle. Preferrably one that is known to be good...

Between my dad and I, we have a few 10/22 carbine barrels laying around, collecting dust, seeing as much use as a snowmobile in Texas. Is there anything out there that makes these barrels worth more than tent stakes or $40 online sales? Please share if you have done anything interesting with a...

Good afternoon everyone, A while back I purchased a steyr safe bolt tactical in 308, it needs a picatinny rail on the receiver along with barrel threading for an AAC muzzle brake. These things need to be done perfectly since I plan to put a suppressor on it eventually. Any expertise or...

Hey guys half way through my custom build. Rifle is going to be a .260 Remington with a Bartlien M40 contour. I was thinking of having medium heavy straight fluting done to the barrel. Will this effect anything or should I not have it fluted? Thanks guys !

Hello, I need some solid advice regarding my expectations and options to deal with my CMMG CBR .308 accuracy. As it sit now, I have a stock CMMG CBR .308, the 2013 version with SureFire Break. It has an ADM Recon mount, and Bushnell ERS 6-24. The upper and lower have a great fit, and the...

Not sure if this thread is in the correct category, so correct me if I'm wrong. I'm starting a new AR-15 build and I wanted a few suggestions on a barrel. I currently have a 16" AR but now I'm looking for more of a long range rifle for hunting and the range. I'm thinking a 20" 1-8 or 1-9 twist...

My current barrel (Mark Chanlynn) is starting to shoot inconsistently after 3,500 rounds, so I'm having my riflesmith order a new Krieger barrel. He tells me that Krieger offers two AR-15 match barrels: One with a diameter of .920 ahead of the gas block, and one with a diameter of .812". The...

I couldn't think of a decent title to describe the question I'm asking, sorry... About a month ago, I discovered an imperfection on the crown of Krieger barrel. I sent it back to them, they evaluated it, and re-crowned it; but when they re-crowned it they didn't push back the shoulder. So...

Hello, Long time forum lurker here and been on the site for a long time. Love Snipers Hide forums and some of the best information on the web. I would have likely continued to lurk forever, but finally found a problem I just simply cannot answer for myself. So, in a new post, I have a...

I have a 110 long action 30-06 and instead of trying to get all fancy I just want to replace the barrel and stock to get the best I can with what I have. My thoughts are to keep it simple. Ideas are welcome of a different approach. I just wanted to see if anyone has experience with a place that...

Hi all, I'm considering my options for a future build. If I build a custom .308 rifle based on a long action (Surgeon/BAT/Defiance), what are some problems that may arise if I want to rebarrel to .300 WM or .338 LM after the .308 barrel has been shot out? Thanks for your help.

Never have even touched a lathe before so forgive me if I sound stupid. How far can a barrel stick out of the headstock/spider/dohicky unsupported when chambering? Reason I ask is if say your spindle bore is only 1" but your chambering a barrel with say a Rem #3 contour where the barrel...

Anyone have the actual Barrel Contour Drawings of the original M40?
