I haven't found anything that comes close to the EFAB performance, especially on 14.5" and under barrels.
I haven't had a chance to call them yet, and I'm still evaluating the Larue MRGG 6.5CM
So I spoke with X2 about what I'd like to do on here for a barrel review, hopefully they'll reach out again and we can get something going.
I'd love to see a light to medium weight barrel head to head between V7, X2 and JP
Looks like you're getting your wish, X2 Dev Group reached out today, they're sending me a 14.5" Barrel, Gas System and their Muzzle Brake.
So after my initial evaluation I'll compare it against the new 14.5" Geissele, 14.5" V Seven
That is excellent news! I wasn't sure if it was going to happen the way your post sounded. Curious to hear what you think of the muzzle device as well.
They were just waiting for your background check to come back

They seem like good people, just busy like all the rest us trying to keep the lights on. 2x Dev Group is Idaho based so I look forward to working with home state companies.
From everything I’m seeing, the X2 Dev Group receiver sets and handguard appear to be pretty cutting edge. I really like what they’re doing with the handguard mate, the aesthetics and ergos:
Small arms solutions gave a good review of the rifle but he doesn't really do accuracy testing. Handguard certainly looks like a solid design

According to X2 Dev Group, Trident barrels, guaranteed Sub-MOA with quality ammunition, exhibit extreme rigidity ensuring consistency and minimizing POI shift when mounting suppressors. This is due to specially timed flutes that act as opposing I-beams, providing structural integrity with reduced mass to maintain optimal barrel harmonics. Keeping all the performance of a 416R Stainless barrel, this design sees weight fall under that of leading carbon fiber barrels. Trident barrels are nitrided, impregnating the steel unlike coatings, for corrosion resistance and improved barrel life.
X2 Dev Group makes all Trident barrels in-house, optimizing the heat profile for consistent group dispersion through 473 degrees Fahrenheit, distributing the heat evenly to reduce heat soak and stress, which, combined with added rigidity, enhances POI predictability through longer strings of fire.
Trident barrels use a .750” journal and are available on X2 Dev Group’s website with a low-profile fixed gas block, a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block, or ready to accept the gas block of your choice. All Trident barrels feature M4 Feed Ramps, a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle, and are chambered in .223 Wylde with a 1:8 twist rate.
Barrel and weight information is as follows:
16” - Mid Length Gas - 21.5oz
14.5”- Mid Length Gas - 20.0oz
12.5” - Carbine Length Gas - 17.8oz

The X2 Barrel arrived Today, this will be the last update on this thread. I'll start a new thread dedicated for the X2 Barrel.
