This will be for a range toy. plenty good for that, unless you are going to shoot match ammo, it will be just as good as any other barrel |

With mine, using a red dot or iron sights, Wolf Gold is just under 3". Russian steel case is 4"-5".

I just ordered a 20" freedom 1/7 flat top w/fsb for a A4 clone, and depending on how the melonited bbl shoots a few flavors of match ammo, possibly a HP rifle for CMP matches. It's hard to pass up at $199/free shipping.

I have a freedom 16" nitrated mid length gas that is as accurate as any AR I have shot. It will put 5 rounds of federal 62 gn into around an inch at 50 yards, wolf and Tula a little over twice that. I have 2 nitrated 16" ptac M4 barrels that shoot about as well. That is about as well as I can do with open sites and a mil spec trigger.

Mine is good accuracy too. 2-3 inches with quick put together reloads. The problem I have is I had to move the rear aperture all the way to the left to get it to zero. Larue fixed LT103 I think?

I have had Freedom uppers in both flavors - SS and Nitride - On the farm course of fire the SS have been minute of beverage can with Wolf Gold - My 20 in Nitride seems to be as well - At a 50 yd indoor range sight in the PSA 20 had a tighter group than my Bravo CMV Middy -
Ordered a 16 pencil nitride in March - It did not want to digest Wolf steel case until a good chamber cleaning and Bolt swap out - appears to be reliable now but has not made it to the longer range yet - I like the Freedoms and this is the first in a half dozen to present a problem |

~3 moa is about normal. Better ammo/shooter may shrink that.

I'm curious what other are getting myself. My 20" melonite upper has been getting 2-4" groups with M855 ammo. I just picked up some Hornady Black .62 FMJ's, I'm really hoping those groups tighten up.

A beverage can - Dr P or AB is about 2.5 by 5 In - Unless you want to put one through the pop top this is plenty good for off hand shooting - I have other rifles for that - but this 20 incher is what travels about in the four wheeler the most - leaving little piles of Rusky cases about the Brother in Laws Farm....]

my freedom barrels (which are my go to uppers for range toy builds) all shoot 3 moa (ish) without a problem. I'm not match shooter, but shooting with a red dot and basic 55-62 grain ammo I can hit a 4 inch circle without a problem.

I would DEFINATELY buy a 3rd if I was looking for another build. |
