Lothar Walther vs Noveske or others...

[steelcomp]

Has anynoe done any real comparison between the Armalite Lothar Walther "T" barrel, and some of the others like Noveske, WO, Kreiger, etc?
TIA

No .30 cal experience, but Noveske 556 barrels are better than LW in my relatively limited experience. Couple Noveske uppers and couple uppers with LW barrels - Noveske's shot better set up the same.

Thanks. What do you think the difference is? Overall rifle quality? Chamber? Bolt? Trigger? Actual barrel quality?

I haven't found the Noveske to be any better of a shooter than a LW (both in 5.56), but the Noveske barrels have the reputation for standing up to HARD use. Not sure if that's a factor for you, since most precision shooting doesn't typically see abuse.
