Re: Lothar Walther AR-15 barrels
I have a couple LW barrels. One on an AR-15 16", one on an AR-10T (factory Armalite LW barrel from several years ago...I assume it was a "drop in" but Armalite could have worked their magic on it...not sure) and new one on the way for a 16" AR-10 carbine.
They are excellent barrels. Accurate, excellent fit/finish, and tough as nails!! Be cautious though...if you are planning on buying anything other than a completed, ready to install barrel and you select LW-50 steel, some smiths don't like to work on the LW-50 barrels because they can wreak havoc on machinery compared to your average gun barrel SS (416, etc.). If done properly, there is no reason that work can't be done...just that some folks don't want to do it.
