I just received a 16" 1:8twist fluted stainless steel heavy barrel from Model 1 for my 556/223,do any one know the accuracy feedback on these barrel and what type ammo and grain do these barrels like.
Exhogflyer said:Those barrels are E.R.Shaw if I remember correctly, and they DO shoot.I have one in 5.56,it's a 24" fluted on a varmint style AR and it's the MOST accurate semi I own.Puts 69gr pills into tiny little holes all day if I do my part. </div></div>
yeah, people dont beleive me when I put ammo most consider "junk" into small groups at 500 yards with a M1S gun. They get downright NASTY about it even.. you'd think I told them there was no God!
What ammo would you recommend. and what the farthest you think my 556/223 would do with this barrel,Dude your AR is nice i love the hand guard. I was told to never shoot ammo with lacquer coating on it .What your opinion on that.
