Excellence becomes a barrel
by Erick -
I used the 11.5” on a pistol build. My intentions were to shoot supposed and decided to go with a piston driven system. Barrel isn’t fancy looking. It sports a good finish and it’s a tight fit with the Aero Precision E4 upper I used. It is very reliable, but it is the accuracy of this short barrel that blew me away. Breaking it in with 55g ball M193 it shot sub MOS groups all day long. I can’t wait to develop a load for this with match bullets i know it is pricy, but is worth every penny.
