Posvar Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I have always found SV AET barrels to be somewhat slower than other barrels. Are the SVP similar or much different? Edited August 27, 2021 by Posvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra86 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 A couple of team infinity guys have told me that they are faster than the old barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posvar Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Barrel was 173 at the NC sectional match today and the gun loves that PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Just fyi, direct from SV, all new production barrels are CEVM 4340 with 1:24 twist. As for the AET barrels, everyone I know who had one found it to be slower. The AET in my 5.4" SV Limited gun when new required 5.7g N320 to make major with a 180g bullet, whereas all my other guns required 5.4g or less. That gun and barrel now have 70-80k through them and I get to 170 pf w/5.2g N320. I have a new 5.4" Limited gun with 4340 barrel on order, so it'll be interesting to see how that compares.

AverageJoeShooting Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 So for an open gun is the aet a no go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if they do, there's no real advantage. And the slower velocity is clearly a disadvantage. Plus, any claims as to better accuracy are dubious at best. Standard barrels will shoot half inch groups at 25 yards all day long. AET isn't going to be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them because the rib goes all the way to the lugs which means even more slide to cut out I've heard reports of them being inconsistent tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda find that hard to believe considering they're all CNC machined in fixtures which doesn't leave much room for human error. And they're oversize/short chamber for gunsmith fit. So, I'd guess any issues were probably related to the fitting. Also, the new 4340 barrels are an improvement over 416 in terms of strength and durability, which means they should last longer.

Yea I just contacted a very well known builder and he refused to put his name on anything using sv parts I'll probably use their barrel anyway because I like how the rib goes to the lugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The IMM barrel lower lugs are cut for a commander frame. From what my builder said they are different the a government/full size barrel lower lug and may or may not work. He didn't want to chance it as the build he was doing for me had three different uppers and was worried timing would be off on that one. So I changed it to be a KKM hybrid barrel. @AverageJoeShooting I just email Shooters Connection as well and got the same response. Kind of bummed out too as I wanted to get a new upper for open on another gun so I'd have a back up. Guess I'll just sit back and wait it out. I have thought about going with the new Scheumann Z or the SVI SVP barrel but have heard both are slower them the KKM and don't want to worry about power factor if I had to switch guns out at a major. I may be paranoid about it but.... I'm not in a huge rush anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
