Well would ya look at that! There has been quite a few companies getting on board the precision light(er) weight midlength Wylde/5.56 match stainless bandwagon as of late. Which I think is a great thing as I looked long and hard at the different options a year 1/2 ago when I bought my 16" noveske lw stainless. Of the few that have come along which I would consider a competitor to noveske's offering, this is probably the only one I can say I may have actually gotten instead. That's a mighty beautiful barrel and with a guarantee like that I would not have many reservations. And that price! Might have to consider building a new rifle......

Some nice features but priced too high in my opinion.

How does it compare within the barrel industry, like to a Noveske??

Sub MOA $400 barrel lol, hope you didn't make many of these. I paid almost $500 out the door for my noveske. Granted it came with a pinned gas block but $400-$500 is the going rate for a high end barrel. Centurion, noveske, v7, rainier ultra match, and a few others. Learn a bit more about the high end barrel market before announcing yourself as an imbecile on your first post. This barrel is a deal if the quality really does compare to the above brands. |

I"m assuming that the gas port is .750 for a regular gas block size? Also is the length of the cut for the gas block have under dimples for gas block.
No pics of under side? I am interested Rainier, but like more details if possible. Don't wanna waste time picking up a gas block that wouldn't work. This is a nice barrel, but it would be better if there was a gas block with. |

I'd definitely consider it... Especially being Wylde chambered but knowing who made the blanks is important to me especially considering that there isn't a reputation for these to Guage their worth.

Not much on fluted barrels, but that looks pretty damn nice!

I checked Rainer Arms and they didn't currently have the size barrel from NTD I was looking for so I got in touch with Dustin at NTD directly and placed a clients order for a 13.7" mid length a couple of days ago. He said 2-3 weeks for delivery. Hopeful but will post actual arrival date once it gets here, very helpful and accommodating over the phone answered all my questions thoroughly. to answer some questions from above from my conversation with Dustin: pac-nor blanks .750 diameter on Gas block Gas block seat 1" not dimpled for gas block set screws "single pass flutes, keeps more metal on barrel" things I think I noticed from the pics: recessed crown, usually a target barrel feature radiused muzzle device seat, aids in the barrel finish with duracote...etc,,helps keep finish consistent by removing a sharp corner prevents finish chips under the muzzle device. especially vortex hiders 
in short, quality blanks, proven chamber technology, packed with meticulously attended features and topped off with an absolutely bonkers warranty! All delivered for about $400, For now that is, I can foresee a price increase for these folks if reviews match their description. Ive had the same experience, they are a great company to deal with. I ordered a 14.5" and a 16" a couple weeks ago, hopefully they are here soon! |
