JP Ultralight Aluminum Barrel

[3GN]

Why is no handguard not an option with the BSF barrel? Isn’t that carbon shroud a handguard of sorts with the actual barrel contained inside that shroud? Maybe I’m just not understanding that barrel.

Thanks for the photo. Yes, I guess that won’t work very well.

Yes, and we called him a traitor for abandoning his beard.

Thanks.

I recall reading something like 12 or 14oz, basically just under 1lbs.

Sorry, not the barrel, the complete rifle with new barrel and forearm.

I am wondering about how accurate they are compared to the original barrel.  Seems they are after all a 5 inch barrel.  I realize at 10 to 20 yards it doesn't matter but at longer distances?

Thanks for your insight and help!

I haven't seen any difference in accuracy at 25 yards with a red dot.

Thanks, gonna order one, $399.00, but they wouldn't be available for a couple of weeks.

[Texas45]

They do place the order now...but a couple of weeks for delivery. Just to be clear.

Why not have no hand guard or at least the Coda Carbon Hand guard?

I have this combo. BSF carbon fiber tension barrel + Coda Evolution carbon fiber handguard. I don't have a number, but it's very light. I like it a lot.

Just bought an ultralight ready rifle. Using the same load I'm seeing less PF from the rifle than what I'm getting from my Glock 17. Is that normal? I would think it's the other way around.

 

Also how big of a difference in recoil can I get by tuning the SCS? Mine is short stroke with 5 stainless weights. I mostly shoot 124gr factory load that gives me 129PF. Any chance that adding weight to the SCS would tame the recoil?
