5 Great for the price! Posted by J.D. on Mar 12th 2016

Bought this barrel a couple weeks ago. Shipped fast. Fit and finish was excellent, very tight fit into the receiver. The muzzle threads were very well done and concentric (I'm a retired machinist). The bore was very good, not AAA but at this price it was way better than expected. There's usually a chip at the gas hole, even my lilja barrels have had them but this barrel didn't. Great so far. The chamber has very close tolerance. Id call it a minimum spec. First firing I got some really good groups but any erratic behavior was my fault. Then i got thing's settled and it's been shooting right at .75 to 1 inch groups with factory Hornady 123gr Amax. This is only about 60 rounds in so far. It's showing some promise it can do better. I've had a few 3 shot groups touching then a random flyer opens it up. After its broke in i believe this thing will really be fantastic. I think this barrel is well worth the price. My only gripe is I wish everyone who makes 6.5 grendel barrels would just make them a 1:8 twist.
