Hi all,
Another SPR thread for everyone to enjoy. I’m in the market for a new SPR and it will be a 16” 5.56 being fed exclusively BH MK262 Mod 1 and BH 77 tmk. Optic will be NF ATACR 4-16 tremor3. There will be a suppressor direct threaded onto the barrel (either CGS Helios DT or HYPERION K). I’m currently debating between an LMT MLR with their 16” stainless steel barrel or a CLE Bartlein/Krieger with the barrel specs that I got from @bigjake83 in another thread. Those specs are as follows: 16" Krieger/Fluted SDM contour/ .750 intermediate gas/ CLE Match chamber/ 5/8 threads. If I go with the CLE option, the barrel will be put into a LaRue Stealth MLOK upper/handguard set with JP FMOS, Seekins Lower with Vltor A5. I’d love to hear everyone’s experiences with the LMT 16” stainless 5.56 barrels as well as the CLE Bartlein/Krieger barrels. Some specific questions I have are:
LMT 16” stainless barrel accuracy and life
Barrel life of CLE Krieger/Bartlein (I know they shoot amazing)
At the end of the day, I have 2 LMT’s already (12.5) and really enjoy them but am looking for a dedicated SPR. Will I be disappointed with the LMT stainless barrel accuracy vs the CLE option or is it comparable?
Thanks all! (I have looked and searched through all the SPR threads and couldn’t find answers to a couple questions listed here).
