Picked up one of the DPMS bead-blasted 20" barrels from CDNN for $79.00. Finish was very nice.
Did a quick bore clean and hit the range. Don't have much time so I only (quickly) check-fired for function. 15 trouble-free rounds, ten Hornady 55gr TAP and five rounds Federal Urban 55gr. The barrel is 1/9 twist so I figured it would like the loads. I'm sure if I slowed down I could have cut perhaps 1/4" off the groups. One group is just under an inch with the other two just over an inch.
Unfortunately they are out of stock now, I was going back to puck up a second one.../images/smilies/icon_smile_dissapprove.gif
So far, the barrel certainly shows promise and was well worth $79 and I think $8 for shipping. I look forward to trying the 52gr and 53gr Match bullets. The rifle...
The initial groups... both loads are same POA/POI which is nice...
