they just take too damn long! I've got one barrel there a month! I'd go Adco to be honest, turnaround is faster and they have a stellar reputation to bootDWilson is GTG
great looking stick!View attachment 8386102
18" factory stainless barrel. I've honestly never shot groups with it but it always hits what I point it at as long as I don't shit the bed on my end of the deal.

so does Dwilson for the record

reading is fundamental, said mine is over a month which is long20 days from the time it left my house to the day it came back on my last barrel just a few months ago, not sure how that’s too long?
again, mine is over a month and still waitinghaven’t had one take longer than 3 weeks

Don't send one to Marvin Pitts.again, mine is over a month and still waiting
I stuck a 18" Proof in mine and I am blown away at how well it shoots. I was hesitant because I had one prior for my AIAX that was meh.Great platform as long as you’re ok with the added weight. Proof barel will really help. Even swap a 556 for a 6ARC if you get bored.
Well, beside me and my barrel not doing well today, there was obvious shifting from different positions at 100y.

And yeah, I need more tripod/standing work I know. This BRT barrel today was 1.5-2 moa, which was not very good. On a good day it’ll do 1.2-1.5. Perhaps I’m asking to much from a hammer forged, chrome lined barrel. Perhaps I just want a Mk12modH.
Is the above typical for y’all though as far as zero shift. Seemed that the non-bipod positions were fairly consistent.
Ammo: AAC 77 OTM, 2630 FPD, 24-26 SD. This ammo is so far the more accurate out of this barrel.You may just need to do a little experimenting with different ammunition or loadings to see what that barrel may perform with. Not having any information on what ammo was shot out of a CL barrel, the groups looks normal. for a practical accuracy stand point of hitting steel, i would consider it acceptable.
FWIW, if you, or really anyone is going after something SPR'ish in terms of performance, I am not sure that a CHF CL barrel is the right tool for the job. I would of probably went with something like a bartlien from cradock precsion. You are going to spend twice as much on the Bartlien, and you rifles going to be noticeably heavier than a general purpose CL barrel, but its accuracy is going to be noticeably better.
I think alot of times we as a group get caught up on trying to jam as much capability into a rifle as possible. 10 inch carbines with 8X optics. SPR's with flashlights, vertical grips, and 1.97 mounts. Most "battle" rifles being configured as DMR's.
In regards to the shifting, not sure I've noticed a shift like that in the past. Are you getting a consisting cheekweld/position? what optic/mount are you running. years ago, I was getting groups like that out of an 1-8 accupower, and it wasnt until I got home that I notice that like an asshole, my mount/rings were not torqued down.
Ammo: AAC 77 OTM, 2630 FPD, 24-26 SD. This ammo is so far the more accurate out of this barrel.
Barrel: Black River Tactical 16” “Optimum” CHF CL barrel
Optic: Trijicon VCOG SCO 1-8 set at 8x
Yeah the norm for this barrel is 1.5 MOA. And yeah I chase the Mk12 concept while keeping it as “general purpose as possible”. Its not the best idea I am seeing. I want the precision but also the barrel life.
@GUNNER10 True. Realistically I’m doing 2k rounds per year, and that is a stretch. More like 1k. I think I’ve had this barrel since late 2023 and I’m at 565 rounds, most of that slow fire, and about 150 of that during one competition in January. At this rate, this barrel would last 10-13 years if not longer. A SS barrel maybe 5-6 years.
I’m also retarded and think every barre has to last the apocalypse. Emphasis on the retarded portion of that statement.
Jealous of the piston setup!I’ve been thinning the herd of some items that have just been taking up safe space and got my first LMT in trade. MARS-L that was originally 16”, barrel cut to 13.9” and P/W both done by Wilson.
Planning for some range time in a week or two.View attachment 8395099
Would the 12” LaRue quad rail be period correct ?I would say either get a 20" LMT barrel and get it cut down to 18", or just do a proper MK12 build with a regular upper and PRI handguard that would allow using a stock MK12 type barrel (IE Centurion or PRI).
Lol,
Honestly, LMT does need to touch up their QC, but, for the most part, they have been putting out decent mrp barrels for the last 20 years, and even out side of dave, LMT's patent is expiring soon so I would expect more options to come online.
My factory 6.5cm barrel is phenomenal, and shoots on par with a previous krieger I ran.
No. Not for a kosher mk12 clone. You've two choices. For a mod1, you want the KAC FF RAS (rifle length). For the mod0 you'll want the PRI carbon handguard.Would the 12” LaRue quad rail be period correct ?
2025 or 6 I believeLMT's monolithic patents are expired permanently as of May 2023... unless there are others that you're thinking about...
