Gunsmithing Lilja AR barrels ???

[smokshwn]

I would like to hear about any experiences with Lilja AR barrels. I am looking at one of their lightweight 16" middie barrels and would like to hear anything you have to say concerning relative speed, accuracy, function etc.


Thanks in advance, Craig

Seems like an expensive way to go for a 16 inch lightweight. YMMV

Good luck

Good stuff. I got one from Nordic a while back.

Accuracy with all bullets is outstanding. I had a poly rifled barrel that did not like 55s at all.

This isn't going to be a plinker so considering that the following barrels are the direct competition and still require shipping.

$290 with a gas tube and included shipping seems very competitive.

JP $350
Noveske $450
Daniel Defense $290
Rainier Arms $365
WOA $289
Sabre Defense $290

You won't go wrong with a Lilja barrel period. Dan is great guy and believes in what he puts out because that'll show back on him. No matter what it costs.

Craig,

Noting against Lija - the OP stated light weight short barrel. When you included speed and function in you question I was thinking 3-gun not a tack driving target barrel.

Good luck

Jerry,

No harm no foul at all, I was just putting it out there that other than milspec quality barrels the Lilja's from Nordic seem to be pretty price competitive.

And it is going on a 3 gun upper, kinda wanting to try really light and see what it show me.

Thanks, Craig
