Seekins SP10 barrel question

[srt-4_uk]

Seekins is not a mil-spec durable weapon, that's been established.

What is the mil spec for large frame gas guns?

I am actually waiting to hear back from DD on their gas block attachment for this model. If they have changed and went the corner cutting route also, then they are a no go I doubt it cause all my DD in 556 are pinned and set screw. I also waiting on the barrel estimate. However The Scar is at 5000. Which is roughly 70% greater barrel life. Not to mention the immense superior differences of the Scar ability to handle heat. As for the DD the barrel is also chf and chrome lined so the functional benefits are there by design. The Geissele is likely able to prrform possibly beyond both. Seekins is not a mil-spec durable weapon, that's been established. Shooting it in slow bench situations may get you to 3000 but no way would you get the durability of a Scar, Geissele and even the DD. And accuracy also has alot to do with shooters skill so variables all factor. But without a doubt Seekins is way overhyped.

Sir if your scar is at 5000 plus rounds and still sub moa then you have the greatest large frame 6.5 creedmoor gasser in history. Slow bench rest shooting, you do understand the SP10M won the Delta contract years ago not to mention that the seekins is the most prevalent large frame gasser at sniper style field matches? No major manufacturer is going to outright tell you who's barrel blanks they are using, but I wont say that information doesnt sometimes get out. The SCAR is not what I'd consider a very accurate weapon but everyone's standard for accuracy is different. Im not sure why you think the scar handles heat better, but ok. Seems as if you've made up your mind and thats fine no one is telling you to buy a sp10 but your opinion is wildly skewed, but you do you.

Those barrels may be chrome lines or nitrided or even some type of alloy. Considering you can pick up an SP10 between $2200-2500 and have a factory gun, with great customer support, that shoots 1/2-3/4 MOA as a large frame, I don't know what your issue is. You are paying almost double that for a Geissele and people have said that there is 0.5mil of shift when doing positional shooting.

Have fun using a SCAR and shooting with a clip on before you cook it. And FN won't warranty their guns if anyone uses a suppressor.

If you want a battle rifle, Seekins isn't what you are looking for anyways. Maybe pick one up and run it for 3000 rounds before jumping in to criticize it.
