Flatland Shooter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Black Hole Weaponry http://blackholeweaponry.com/ And a good place to purchase them. http://www.surplusammo.com/ With good ammo (my reloads), I can get 5 shot groups under 1/2" at 100 yards.

Vlad Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I know lots of people like the Nordic, but apparently I got the one that doesn't group well. Still trying to find a load it likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 My nordic doesn't like 77 grain but it really likes 69 grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just noticed Micro MOA does not show an 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionShooter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I run a White Oak Armament with mid-gas. Great shooting barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman489 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 the 16.5 Micro MOA is intriguing ... but Im thinking I need all the long range help I can get .... that 1.5" would seem to make a big difference ...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well, I have always run 20" barrels and I like the extra velocity. I do like the fact almost all new 3-gunners are whipped on the 16-18" or even shorter barrel. While all you guys couldn't find any barrel I was able to order all the 20" barrels I wanted!

BobS761 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Question for Mr. Kurt. My 16" barrel is shooting sub MOA at 100 yards, with good ammo. It's 16 inches because functionally its just a plain Stag carbine. What are the advantages of getting an 18 or even 20 inch barrel? I'm thinking the extra velocity would be nice, but honestly, it wouldn't make me a better shooter. Edited September 25, 2014 by BobS761 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) First off Bob, it will make you better looking. It has worked for me for years! Secondly the gas system on the AR platform was designed around this length, and it is the softest, easiest on brass, and right at the length for optimal velocity. Third with extra velocity you don't have to be as precise with your range estimation as you have a bit more lee way in you vertical drop. Fourth you can run 55 grain bullets and knock over La Rue targets even at 4 and 500 yards. Fifth it won't help your benchrest groups and won't make you a better shooter sitting down with sand bags, but it might just help a smidgen in field applications. O.P. said he needed all the help he could get.....and...well....it does help. Edited September 26, 2014 by kurtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I can't take credit but Kurt mentioned many threads ago that he was going to (did you?) built a Iron gun with a 22" barrel. I hope to be sporting one next season! Sight radius is your (our) friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS761 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks, makes sense to me. But you had me at the possibility of becoming better looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor996 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There was a 20% off group buy going last week on the nordic barrels. You better go check their Vendor Tent to see if it's still active. Also some people are reporting good things about the Voodoo light weight barrels.

Jaxshooter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have a JP CTR-02 with an 18" mid weight barrel. It is the most accurate of 9 ARs that I own including a Nordic and a Knight's Armament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TISCHLJ Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Can anyone chime in on possible additional velocity from the Noveske 16-18 inch barrels due to the polygonal rifling? I am also looking to do a new barrel soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TISCHLJ Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Not really. ..but I appreciate the response...increased velocity or no...Noveske barrel is an option to the OP....looking for input... thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TISCHLJ Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Poly rifled ? Increased velocity at 1-7twist anyone over conventional. ..thanks for the hit P.E..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TISCHLJ Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 the reason I ask is at the last Tarheel 3 gun I shot I saw a guy shooting an SBR with a 10.5 to 11.5 barrel making great hits on targets out to 325 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
