Finished a 16" build some time ago.
Bought the barrel used, so no idea as to who made it, but it shoots pretty good.
The upper is a slickside Anderson.
The Lower is from JoeBob's and the Bolt is NFA.
The rifle runs like a raped ape using ETS, Magpul and Glock mags - when shooting FMJ's. I'm talking Tula, Win, Rem, Wolf...all of it.
I've tried 4 different HP's now. Speer, Rem, Prvi and Hornady - all of them fail to feed in any of the mags - excep the OEM glock mags.
When chambering a round, it appears as if the nose of the bullet bumps into the bottom of the barrel extension/ chamber. So, the question is - do I have a barrel or a mag issue? Or both?
I only paid $50 for the barrel, but it's the only 16" 9mm barrel I have at the moment. The carbine will be my "range" gun so the HP's aren't that big of a deal. I can live with only shooting fmj's through it, so this is merely out of interest, as I'm building 2 or 3 pistols for family members as defensive weapons.
