50 rounds down the pipe, moving in a different direction with this build. Barrel performance was impressive. At 100 yards I got 1.25 inch 5-shot groups with IMI 77g and 1.5 inch 5-shot groups with AAC 77g OTM. Shot with a bipod and bag. My shooting is average.
You get 16 inch Noveske Recon stainless steel barrel with headspaced bolt, gas block, gas tube. Gas block pinned/reamed to 1/8th inch to accommodate coil pin for easier assembly/disassembly. The factory included dowel pin is retardedly tight/hard to drive in. If a 1/8th inch coil pin is good enough for Geissele its good enough for me.
There are some scuffs on the barrel where I removed the gas block/its an extremely tight fit and the hole drilled for pinning naturally makes an edge that will scuff the barrel during install/removal of the gas block. This will not effect the performance whatsoever. The headspacing on this bolt/barrel is very tight. It barely chambers my "go" gauge. It will have a long life and lots of consistency.
Barrel is $500 before shipping from Midway. I feel like $275 is plenty fair for a virtually new barrel/bolt with some scuffs on it. Buyer pays shipping from Chattanooga, TN
Thanks for lookin!
