And while ER Shaw is not normally my first choice I have made several really good sub MOA rifles using their barrels..(non-chambered blanks) made a couple of AR's for some "Team Savage" long distance shooters and they loved them. |

I have a $90 Anderson 16" 1:7 twist no-CL, govt profile and a $250 Ballistic Advantage 1:7 stainless govt profile.
The Anderson easily outshoots the BA barrel. I like the BA barrel, but the Anderson is consistently, boringly subMOA with 77gr grain Noslers. The BA is close, but not as consistent or tight. These are on two otherwise identical rifles using the same optic. I can't scoff at ER Shaw in this case. |

Anderson receivers are used by some companies that many guys consider to be "Tier 1" rifles. It cracks me up when I see guys dissing Anderson, and then talking about how they don't compare to the receiver on their $1500 AR (that just so happens to have a Anderson upper and lower receiver). Anderson sells a LOT of receivers. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I picked an Anderson barrel. Then my LGS dropped it
Mushroomed the muzzle and wrecked the threads. Then they got me a nicer barrel 
ETA i ended up selling that rifle but my Franken-AR has an Anderson m4 profile. Accuracy is good 'nuff  ~2.0-2.5 moa

The testing was done at a measured 100 yards because I had a BA barrel that was only delivering 3" 5 shot groups, so in order to return it under their guarantee, I wanted to quantify it as best I could, using the other rifle with everything else the same including optics to eliminate and likely variables like scope movement, mount movement.
I snapped pics for BA but didn't keep them. I shot five 5 shot groups with each rifle from a bipod and rear squeeze bag, prone, using the same BCM bolt group, a Bushnell Elite 1-6.5x SMRS scope in a Larue SPR-E mount. To Ballistic Advantage's credit, they were satisfied with the effort and replaced the barrel for nothing out of pocket from me. The replacement barrel is better, running close to 1-1.25" 5 shot groups. |

I have an FN blanked CHF CL that is capable of a REAL 1MOA. I have other FN blanked that just don't quite get there.(obviously, with quality ammo) The Faxon sample I have seen, seemed to be MOA capable, and being nitrided should provide with some extra durability. |

I can't say that the Shaw was sub MOA or just around MOA, I was never using the best ammo when shooting it early in life. It had a half and half diet of XM193 and various better quality .223 rounds. My one and only experience. As far as stripped uppers go, I have mainly used Aero and Mega. I think I have a couple PSA mixed in. Not sure if Anderson has a hand in any of those. I am pretty sure they don't with Mega. I do not patronize Anderson, to each their own. It has nothing to do with tier whatever. |
