Great barrel at a great price
by Jon
I bought this barrel to replace the 18" stainless HBAR I had on my PA-10 build to reduce the forward weight of the firearm. This saved me .75 pounds and made the weapon handle really well. I was concerned that the pencil profile was going to create accuracy issues but that was not a problem at all. I consistently shoot sub-MOA groups out to 400 yards using 168 grain BTHP handloads. I would definitely recommend this barrel to anyone that is looking to build a versatile and well-handling 308 that can still deliver sub-MOA accuracy.
