Preferred barrel blanks - REVIEWS?

[Fullbore1912]

Anyone have any experience with them, how do they perform?

Would love to see some pictures.

Looking for a carbon or slim steal barrel for a Arc CDG.

Tikka prefit in 243 Win this year. Wonderful barrel. 26” heavy Palma.

Tikka 300BO 16" - one of my favorite plinkers. Sub MOA at 100yds with subsonic ammo. I would buy from again.

I have a Uintah bolt action AR 6mm ARC that has one of their barrels, shoot .5 to .75 MOA without much effort. I had mine nitrided by H&M Metal Processing to extend it's life after I got it broke in. You won't go wrong with one of their barrels. They were formally Match Grade Machine.

I had a 20” 308 barrel in their .900 taper less contour with a spiral flute pre fit for a Kelby Atlas Lite. It shot .5 moa with 178gr ELD-X and I felt it was a good balance of diameter and weight. For the price I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.

I noticed when my barrel shipped to me the UPS account was MGM, I wondered if they were the same or subcontractor.

Put a shouldered prefit carbon wrapped 24" 6.5PRC on a defiance anti for my dad. It's in an ALG carbon stock with a tbac ultra 5 on it.

It shoots. It's his long range hunting rifle, it took a handful of loads to get it shooting sub .5moa with eld-x and he has left well enough alone.

I have a shouldered pre-fit from them in 6.5 PRC. I put it on my Big Horn TL3 action. It shoots well, but the Shilen select match in 6.5 PRC is more accurate. Only tested them both with factory ammo at this point.

I love their barrels and am about to place another order with them for a short 8.6 build. Good quality, great communication, and the barrel is dead to nuts.

They do a pretty sick spiral flute if you’re into it as well.

Overall, no complaints from here.

6CM Terminus QC. Sub MOA with hand loads and no POI shift on barrel swaps.

Im on the fence I will probably go with a 1:3 but I’ve heard people having issues with the 1:3 trying to run supers which I would like to be able to do.

I’ve just talked to Paul the guy at Maker that made the 350Rex and he also said he’s not a huge fan of the 3tw and says the 350 will expand fine out of a 5 and 6tw so that’s what I’ll go with

 

[Screach]

Yeah, I like the idea of the super fast twist, but it seems too finicky for the kind of loads I want to run.

I purchased a 7PRC barrel and Kelbly action from them in 2023. Communication was great from start to finish. They will take time to answer questions on the phone if necessary. It shoots Hornady factory ammo .5” all day, which is good enough for my purposes. They’re good to go in my book.
