Apologies for the late reply. Been really busy around here.
On the new
14.5" & 16" Ultramatch LIGHTRIGID™ 416R Stainless Steel .223 Wylde Fluted Lightweight Barrels, we developed them as part of the complete Lightweight Rifle Solution. We are getting sub MOA with non-match ammo and with match ammo we are getting dime sized groups at 100 yards.
We are working our way around the entire rifle to redesign every single component from the ground up to make them lighter while maintaining strength (sometimes stronger than original USGI light our BAD-EPS-Ti Titanium Pin Set) and reliability.
We call these barrels
LIGHTRIGID™ as it is
not a pencil barrel profile. It is a hybrid profile with fluting to strike a balance between accuracy of a thicker, more rigid barrel and weight savings. It is double heat treat stress relieved, cryogenically treated and manufactured with our own unique proprietary process. Similar match barrel with fluting are in the $700 range. It is the best kept secret in the AR market right now. The product will speak for itself. We don't make anything unless we think we can make the best in that category.
Many more surprises from Battle Arms to come....
