For CHF here is a good 16"
Lighter weight I have the both the above barrels in 14.5". My personal opinion is top notch greatness. |

Since you're all Spikes. Why not a chf Spikes optimum profile barrel? http://www.spikestactical.com/st-cold-hammer-forged-16-midlength-barrel-556-p-830.html Edit: Just looked into those Rev barrels. Those look like a good option,but i can't find any reviews on them. Any idea on what they weigh? |

I got some barrels from bob at faxon and I know his machining is very precise and that's why he turns out solid barrels
My other go bag rifle has the FN/spikes chf 14.5 LW barrel it's another mainly spikes rifle but Troy rail and TR24. It shoots well up close have only stretched it out to 200 and it had a 5 shot group about the size of my palm with 55gr fmj only using the mag as support. Part of me wants to get the noveske to test spikes fn vs noveske chf and test chf noveske vs stainless steel noveske. When I talked to rev sales guys at a show they said two of their sponsored guys have 20k rounds and are still holding Sub MOA, but whenever I see pics of rev groups it's always 3 shot. I know molon did chf noveske tests and was getting a hair over 1 inch groups with the chf noveske for 10 shot groups. |

Spikes CHF is FN maybe built to different specs, maybe close enough it doesn't matter. Buy Noveske if you like. It used to be a bigger deal than it is now. You will pay more for a similar barrel. We all like different things. Your money spend it how you like. |

I think I'm just going to go Noveske, they'll have a black friday or christmas sale and I'll pick one up. I know Noveske uses FN barrel blanks but I rather have the standard profile than the spikes optimum profile.

That is one of the reasons why I don't have SBR's yes they do have a purpose but because of state lines it is wiser to have an AR pistol in that instance. |

If i am in some situation where i feel my rifle is needed for a go bag i dont think i will be worrying about crossing the state line. But i do just keep a free yearly updated travel form 5320.20 for SBRs to my neighboring states incase I travel. |

I know as a Texan I should rep LaRue but I enjoy my noveske SPR barrel on my 3gun rifle, you guys make barrels that are great for precision, but this rifle is more of a jack of all trades. Looking for 1.5 inch or better but can handle heat well. I also had a problem with you guys giving me the run around on an order instead of saying hey we can't give you a true ETA.

After going from Colt barrels to Larue, I'll never go back. My groups are .25 moa better with my current 12" Larue barrel vs my Colt 16" barrel. I know it's apples to oranges but most would think the longer barrel would give better accuracy. Me and my brother in law were just as shocked, he just ordered a 16" stealth to start his first build.

Actually if they're the same thickness the shorter one will be more accurate, the reason why is rigidity. The more rigid the barrel the less harmonics are thrown off. Barrel length usually equates to higher velocity. I know LaRue makes good barrels but like I previously stated this rifle is an all around rifle. If I wanted to improve my varmint rifle I would look at LaRue. For now I'm leaning towards the Noveske CHF 16. |

What was nice is seeing the accuracy hang ... it's like having your cake and eating it too. |

Were they going cyclic, sustained, or rapid? I know LaRue makes top notch precision barrels but why should I go LaRue over Noveske's CHF for a hard use rifle?
