As for the ballista bolt, I believe it is a tri-lug design. so it has less Lugs, but they are much beefier then the MRAD
Would you care to explain that in a little bit more detail and/or provide the source you are referencing?

I'm basing it solely off the quick view of the lugs you get in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZF2HWwKkCo
at the 19 second mark, you can see the bolt laying on the table, it looks like looks like 3 lugs
30 second mnark, the barrel is removed, and you can see the chamber, and grooves for 3 locking lugs.
then at 41 seconds you again see the lugs as the bolt is inserted in to a barrel outside of the chassis.
Are you a Lawyer? You are starting too anoy me! You are a self-proclaimed FN fan Boy. Would you like to have proof mailed to your door? Get of you lazy ass and look for yourself. This is a thread about the Barrett MRAD. Not the Fucking Ballista. If you want to start a thread about the Fn then have at it. Then I can come over and shit it your thread.
I meant what leads you to believe that the FN's bolt is beefier than the Barrett's?

You should chill out. I'm not saying that the Ballista is better than the MRAD, or vice versa. I'm simply asking how the components of the two compare to each other.
Take a deep breath and go have a beer.....your response was way too emotional given the simple question I was asking.
What is everyone's favorite color for the MRAD? I'll be getting one in 1~2 months. I'm thinking od green or fde.
Did you ever find the 4 inches you lost from your 300WM barrel?
Anyone want to talk about there 308 barrels? My 22" 308 fluted just showed up. Anyone want to talk about there carbon barrel Vs. Heavy/Fluted barrel if they have had both? Or any caliber for that matter. Any grain bullet that the 22" 1 in 10 twist likes. I've got 208 eld's, 185 Jugger's. Commence talking amoungst yourselves?

Went and broke in the 308 22". I went well considering the rocky start after try to rezero after the 20" 300 win mag. Not even close zero. Not even in the ball park. 168 GMM gave me a 3 shot half inch group. A couple different two bullets one hole. Promising. Shot a 3/4 inch group with 168 Zmax. Damn zombies! Put a deposit down today on a Carbon 338 Lapua barrel. Hell Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been lost in ballistics tables and the JBM calculator putting together not only my reference sheets by DA, but also something I've never had to do in my life before: a conversion table telling me what the changes on the optic will be based on my ballistics and testing, if I go from X to Y caliber and what the new zero on the scope will be.
I've been looking at the CF barrels but just can't pay it. Maybe I should have gotten one for the 308 or 6.5 kits because those 2 barrels will be around the longest. When it comes to 300WM or 338, you either never shoot them during practice or you only use them when you 'need' them; 90% of my shooting is 6.5 and 308 unless I'm shooting at something at 1500 or whatever.
P.S. - Only 5 shot groups count
I have a small breach, my rifle was one of their newer versions off the line that went away from the large breach. I'll have to take the bolt head & body apart and the firing pin while I'm at it and see whats going on in their. I've been trying to get a hold of Barrett this week but all I have been getting is Don's (tech guy) voice mail.
What kind of lubricant are you using for your bolt....maybe switching that up will help?
Carbon 338 Lapua barrel showed up yesterday and does it ever look sweet. I'm talking about some serious girth and not very much weight!!!! I will report back after the break in of the barrel.
I was over on the Barrett Forum last couple of days, reading old threads. Some people were stating that in 308 form, they were having trouble igniting some 308 primer/bullets. Anyone have trouble with miss fires? They stated the problem being to much grease in the firing pin mech. area?
I expected more pictures in this tread. However it is still making me want a Barrett!

Let me know if you manage to get 1500 rounds out of that barrel.
